Forecast

A
clear day

with
simple sun

             no poetry predicted

but
I’m driving along

and
two poems

are
spitting a mist

into
my mind

of
words now missed

because
I’m on this

no-pull-over
road

we
need poetry

                                  turn offs

signaled
by

                  dangling

roadway

           signs

a
clipart pen

or
a cryptic scrap of scribbled paper

              its calligraphy deppilf in homage
to Leonardo

or
ellipses . . .

&
ampersands

but
not

the
? mark –

it
eloped with the

information
booth

too
bad

because
poets have

so
many

?s
