Letter to Susan

Well, Susan, look what you’re missing —
a full up hurricane scare with most poets
deciding to stay home. The nerviest
left Monday. Tuesday another drove her ill
husband to Savannah. Everyone else here
is practicing battening & hunkering as best
they can. Studies seem to show that the poor,
the old, & those who’ve lived here longest
stay put in a hurricane. I’ve identified three
parking lots with elevations of twenty feet
above sea level — Gold’s Gym, Walmart,
& JI Presbyterian Church — where I’ll park
my car if I’m worried about a storm surge.
So far the spaghetti models don’t converge.
