A Meteorologist on Her First Speed Date
Expect a low pressure system, air rising
into the upper atmosphere, condensing
into cumulonimbus clouds, God’s hammer
striking the anvil.
Road conditions could be delayed
as water droplets are super-cooled
to create a fog with a deposit
of rime ice, a glaze under
what can’t be seen.
Bit of a vapor bath,
wearing a sticky coat
in August.
That blue norther should pass over
for a sun lover’s dream.
There’s a sixty-two percent chance
of accuracy in the forecast.

I should have brought my spear
and magic helmet.
Road conditions could be delayed
as water droplets are super-cooled
to create a fog with a deposit
of rime ice, a glaze under
what can’t be seen.
People are opaque windows.
Bit of a vapor bath,
wearing a sticky coat
in August.
Words unspoken are baby birds, afraid
to leave the nest. Nervous wings flutter.
That blue norther should pass over
for a sun lover’s dream.
Tequila Sunrise, later?
There’s a sixty-two percent chance
of accuracy in the forecast.
