Sometimes, it's just shocking:
the mercurial suddenness
with which clouds
attain solidity
and clement skies darken—
how quickly
this vast and guileless
field of possibility
surrenders to those roving
and disgruntled
bands of breezes
and their furiously unanimous
caucuses of vapor,
which, in the time it takes
to read this,
have closed-in tight,
caucused, and stiffened
into just the kind
of elephantine
and doomed luxury liners
which no one down here
could ever afford to board.
