April 16

Oh wind, you’re such a narcissist –
on and on and on you blast,
a tiresome soliloquy of run-on sentences,
reckless words that set
the prairie afire.
Leave this scarred and wind-scraped land,
take your empty chatter
on up to Nebraska, you’re headed
that way anyway.
Slam the door if you must,
just go.

    Amen! Well said. It is one thing about Kansas that I just really don’t like!

    Beautifully put. But it probably helps my appreciation that I’m not from Nebraska
