so i look at a weather map. ...
so i look at this weather map and this big cloud jumps out at me, "mwahahahaha!" she sounded like ursula from 'the little mermaid.' i realize that the hurricane's actually a HE, signal number four out of four levels they said, and all i could think of is, "so that's why she has such a guy-sounding low voice. the hurricane's a guy!" and then i wondered if hurricanes swirled in place for a while, sucking up all the frogs in that area to dump in another, when i thought, "it turns this way, right?" meaning counterclockwise, and i went, "cool, i still remember third grade weather science." it seemed fine at that time to trace the hurricane's path, knowing i'd meet my country and her thousand pleasant thoughts along the way, but the closer i got to the equator, a stunning thought greeted me: clouds over malaysia, and much of oceania. and then it hit me, quezon province and 340 swept away, stories from bloggers about the wind, eerily powerful, associated with raging storms and black skies, only now it's just the wind; the sometimes forceful unwieldy way that it blows between damen and cudahy science halls at loyola university's lakeshore campus, blows sometimes so that it feels like you're negotiating sanctions, fighting terms, chiseling deals, finding recompense and, looking at that weather photograph taken several million feet from the earth by a cold satellite in space, frilly i wondered, "where's my country?!"
