Poetry Fusillade, pt 9: The Barometer
Deep in the box
Of inherited things
Was a round device
Of needle and numbers.
Since I didn't understand
Barometric pressure
I made it better; relevant
To what matters today.
So now "29" is orange
Which is "heightened alert"
The airport's new normal
So even without weather
We will still
Fear the dark.
