METEOROLOGY

It doesn’t take much

to overlay

an atmosphere of

assumption

on to any scene

or situation.

Who knows

really

what’s what,

right?

Do you?

I don’t.

It’s all make-believe,

smoke and mirrors,

a meteorology

of the mind.

Whatever we tell ourselves

is only today’s forecast,

a passing 

precipitation–

presumption–

no more real than

newsroom wizardry

made for the blue screen.
