Sandy

The hurricane is ready to attack.
The people aren’t ready to respond.
The hope is that the people move beyond
The boundaries of areas in black,
For readying themselves to sit it out.
It’s never very wise to sit a storm,
Especially one threatening to form
The coast within its image, with a clout
That’s well beyond the average hurricane.
I’m hoping that Katrina isn’t now
Attending as advisor, given how
The storm is giving hint of giving wane
And then returning further, for to stay
Upon the east, while ripping up the bay.
