the phone warning

i like the storm warning
on my phone.
that screeching wail not unlike
the early sixties
when the sirens would blare
before the russians
dropped their A bombs
on us all.
i know now when winds
will come, the rain,
the hail. lightning.
i know when the flash floods
will arrive.
i appreciate the phone warning,
and wish i had had one
when someone dangerous
and evil
was about to enter my life.
