A Non-Prophet Organisation


Morning.

A hand emerges 

from the bed covers

And turns on the radio.

The forecast is upbeat,

Promising sun and warmth.

The rest of the body,

Head, neck, shoulders,

Slide slowly from the cocoon

Where they have been hidden

From the morning chill.

No dashing here—

Glacial speed, give or take.

The curtain is parted—

Rain batters the window.

Rain!  As always, the forecast

Was wayward, off the mark.

He sighed, laid his head

Back on the pillow,

And slipped

Under the covers.
