WAITING ON HILARY

 

                         … (I) don’t think hurricanes

                        like to follow predicted paths.

                                    –Brian Grant

 

The prognosticators have claimed

the climate spotlight—used science

to explain why we read poetry

 

when our dehydrated atmosphere

rains rivers and spawns hurricanes

while the earth is spinning faster than it should—

 

its fractious friction warming waters

to forge the passion of whales and otters

to object and retaliate.

 

Watching the weather map of Baja California,

new science is driving out a percentage

of the old that we believed was true.

 

One response to “WAITING ON HILARY

  1. Just one more thing we don’t know. Maybe time to “ask others”.
