No Weather

The Bends of the Potomac near Paw Paw, WV.
As eager as i am for tomorrow,

I have stopped tracking its forecast,

No Super Doppler Map in Motion,

No predictions of damage and havoc;

I, afterall, a man of Zone Temperate,

And if the weather should surprise me,

I shall greet it as a prodigal son,

This moment being pleasant and long,

This hour being drama enough.





–upon returning from an all-day hike to find neighbors
taking precautions against a coming ice storm,
having been sufficiently warned.
