The Strange Effects Of Weather

Joseph D. Reich

as always
out of nowhere
like some miracle

autumn comes tumbling in
through your window
while all you hear

is the murmur
of some madman
over your television

for spot-remover
and angels
weeping

jimmy stewart still strolling down the street
with his imaginary rabbit harvey
making small-talk

and offering his colorful opinions
embracing the seasons and not giving
a rip van-winkle about rumors from gossipy neighbors.

in truth in reality
he never really cared
much for them anyway

as that sweet&saintly girl
from ‘wonderful’ still holds a pretty
deep crush on him despite his ways

and falls fast asleep with a big dumb
stupid smile on his face next door
to the rapturous roar of foghorns.

the drunken girls all
return home from karaoke bars
while it is no wonder he feels neither

conflict nor contrition
about his supposed bizarre
arrested stage of development

as in a couple months time
he will see his repeats over
and over again on television.
