The Revolutions of Hurricanes

The Revolutions of Hurricanes

There’s a hurricane storming
Across the sea toward Texas
Its path’s still indeterminate
It could go further north,
And east and west
Flatten every pig operation
Every injustice
And maybe it can, and will
If that Hurricane is us
And what looks to be mere spinning
In circles is, in actuality,
The gathering of strength
