Storm’s coming.
Collect your scraps.
Get the buckets in position.
Call your relatives
and have your umbrellas
at the ready.
It may not be too bad
this time
but, like he said,
“Hope for the best.
Prepare for the worst.”
Unless it was she that said it.
Whatever.

It could be smooth
or utmost chaos
in the offing.
It’s impossible to know.
So get ready
be set to go
and wait for the storm
already in its way.
