Day to Night
right now
the leaves are resting quiet
it’s 80-something-degrees
the sky’s a robin’s egg
everything’s in bloom
birds and butterflies and babies
people are outside
mowing their grass
walking down the street
biking and hiking
and driving with their windows rolled down
just a beautiful day
but come nightfall
the leaves will be whipping wild
it won’t be so warm
the sky won’t be blue
all the blooms blown away
people will be inside
flipping channels
watching the weather
Alabama’s in the red
that ain’t good
no school tomorrow
there’s tornado talk
and rumored hail the size of baseballs
lovely, jest lovely
finally got my greenhouse up and running
and now it’ll be spinning away to munchkin land
oy vey!
