Replying to a comment on:
Lake Michigan (Free verse) by jessicazee
Tonight we both watched the news,
two girls found dead in Illinois, live
at ten, anchors pumped
selling thunderstorms,
gladdened cancer tales
of children in wigs, wishes
granted by rich angels...
You need to see the weatherman,
the shape of our lake
an erection at its end,
our state your right hand, a palm,
we live under a thumb,
it will rain all week
if we believe in Doppler, pointing
men in pinstriped suits
forcing us to trust.
