storm warnings

the radio
broadcasts its
warning.
the familiar
buzzing noise
three or four
times before
a voice comes
on to tell
you in somber
tones, take
cover. seek
shelter, a storm
is on the move
coming
to a roof near
you. how nice
it would be to
have warnings for
all such
things in life,
like
the measles,
heart failure,
the flu, or love
going south
when you don't
have a clue.
