You make a fire because it is pretty
    or because you have a perverse desire to destroy things
I make a fire to keep warm.
You pay money to lay under ultraviolet rays
    so your skin will be a toasty golden brown.
My skin is a toasty golden brown because
    I work out in the sun for my money.



The title refers to a poem from April of the same year, Periscope.
