Hurricane Prep
At dawn to the gas station, before the crowds
Assemble in undemocratic lines
Then hours of busting knuckles and language
On the generator long-stored and ignored
All the old lawn chairs stacked and stowed away
A “H*** Storm Brewing in the Gulf” – oh, no!
Water bottles stacking in the laundry room
Hyperbole stacking on the radio
Menacing winds roaming among the trees -
But we are ready with double-A batteries!
