the weather report

you turn the sound down.
the weather, as you can see
by the map is blue and white,
is cold, and wet.
no need to hear him say it
with his sympathetic
words, his plea for you
to stay warm, to be careful
on the roads. to bring the cat in.
you are wise enough now
to wear a coat,
to drive slower,
to look into the sky
and know what's coming.
no need to hear his
apologies for the storm
about to come.
you wish you could tell
him, it's fine, everything
will be okay. don't worry.
