a storm is coming

we hear the wind rising and

hammering on the train tracks

remembering as a kid

laying an ear on the rail

for some kind of message

but it was only the sound of trains

i look down from the window on the 17th floor

but nothing is happening

it's just like something happened

though it also has not happened yet

we will stay close to home today

yes, a storm is coming

close to home today
