what to
expect
and when
makes
forecasters
of us
trying
to avoid
surprise
be prepared
but just
last week
while focused
on an asteroid
a meteor
slipped in
happens
again again
now
it has been
ice snow
sleet mixture
of each
earlier than
anticipated
or slowed
shifting
storm lines
will we escape
experience
worse than
imagined
then
we know
snow stalled
streets
slick interstates
make caring
difficult
cant stop
to help
the motorist
stranded
on a hill
would only
complicate life
for a hundred
drivers behind
so pull around
keep going
even say
that is their
problem
they should
learn
to drive
life
better
too soon
one time
i am
the motorist
stranded
in many kinds
of storms
on many
different hills
needing
to remember
why others
cant stop
dont want
to ask them
complicate
their lives
yet when
it has taken
everything
in me
to make it
this far
all
i can do
is stall
and call
please
help
