Sideways Rain
Wind
Nearly a Nor’easter
Howling
The wind cries
Screeches
Today was a go through the motions kind of day
Facetime with Jeannette made it brighter
Meeting helped
But still there is this lingering thug
Will I get it?
Will my parents?
My brother?
My friends?
My colleagues?
It all feels uncertain; like we’re waiting for a bomb to drop
The grocery store feels dangerous
Any venture with people feels scary
Is the earth shedding us for her own survival?
Why don’t those in charge of this shitshow have it
How is it right that those who caused this live
And create more chaos
I’ve never felt more anxious
Or unsettled
And the weather isn’t helping
