girlfriends are like tornado warnings
in a sense so careful
you must be
and heed
all the warnings.

at the first sign
of low
pressure
hide in the hallway with your mattress
tuck your head and tail
'tween your knees.

when the hail starts falling
and all hell starts blowing
and the ****
  hits  the fan

remember-
  that girlfriends are cute whirlwinds
ado and anon you must know
that there is always the chance
of a storm brewing.
