earth note 851

a steady rain washes
covid mad river blues
into the storm sewers
ohio valley filling
to the brim
like a whiskey drinkin
bad habit
there's no reliable forecast
for when the storm might move on
open the windows
flush out the bad air once in awhile
your bronchial tubes need a rest
the hillsides are trying
to go green
but there's new cautionary yellow lines
painted on the avenue
no sidewalks or crosswalks
that go the distance
