Meteorolgy and Metaphysics - a poem

meteorology and metaphysics


it was partly cloudy for the crucifixion;
some say it stormed later,
but who would do that to their kid
on a holiday/

it’s of no consequence
to any of those premier 5-star
factory of doom locations/
they execute and pick bits
of blown chances
from well-worn bi-cuspids,
howling in a sirocco of righteousness/

the weather is as it does
without historical significance
when we do it in his name
instead of to him/

the meteorology of metaphysics
is unpredictable at best/
