Scarlett Johansson has collapsed!

Scarlett Johansson has collapsed!
I was trotting along and suddenly
it started raining and snowing and you said it was hailing
but hailing hits you on the head
hard so it was really snowing and
raining and I was in such a hurry
to meet you but the traffic
was acting exactly like the sky
and suddenly I see a headline
SCARLETT JOHANSSON HAS COLLAPSED!
there is no snow in Lapland
there is no rain in Brazil
I have been to lots of parties
and acted perfectly disgraceful
but I never actually collapsed
oh Scarlett Johansson we love you get up.

With apologies to Frank O' Hara ('Lana Turner has collapsed'. Lunch Poems. 1964)

And that's the end of summer. Or is it?
