Real Fire

Throw away your rulers

There’s nothing to measure


Except disappointment

Accept disappointment


Don’t leave me in a room with a meteorologist today

I’d have to choose my words carefully


You can’t just drop a snowflake icon on an app and walk away

There are real world consequences


I’d already imagined my footprints

Through a slowed city


My grin was firmly half formed


The roads were salted as if to taste

Following a recipe


None of which was kosher


It’s coming I told the others

Passing along your wisdom 

Parroting you


I’ll keep working on my need to know ahead of time

If you keep working on your need to share
