and dante contributes
a sweaty-walled, insidious inferno
brimstone masked
by chem-sweet detergents
fabric softeners that reek of fake flowers
perfume the fiery atmosphere
that's hiding in a wet blanket
a small congregation of the damned
watch their hairshirts
all spinning in the same direction
obliviously
impenitently
unproductively
casually
passing their purgatorial time
thumbing through old magazines
or looking for a four-letter word to fit
tomorrow's crossword
