Wind-Like
Cassie Laguerre 2002 (Bel Air)
Today, the wind rules the sky
And everything below it
It tugs at the hair of pedestrians
And watches them struggle to gain back control
To insert its dominance
It pushes the bushes
Then sits back to mock them
It hurries over to the garbage cans
To give them a shove
Then smiles and laughs an evil laugh
It climbs the trees and tickles the tops
Then rests aside as the trees sneeze
The wind seeks to expose the strength
Of all things earthly
When the day is over,
The wind retires.
The job is done
Who will rule the sky
And everything below it
Tomorrow?
