The ZEN OF HURRICANE PREPARATIONS
by E.A. Feliu
Learn how to keep your hand steady
pouring water from a 99-cent jug,
washing your hands;
tame backwaters with Clorox, Lysol,
THREE STAR matches.
Learn how to undress like candles;
consider the night naked.
Imagine you're bald;
walk in the rain.
Discover the radio.
Get drunk; piss from the balcony.
Give the cops the finger.
Run before the roof goes.
