Wind Is a Tyrant Today
Wind is a tyrant today
Whipping scarves and purses off people
She laughs as some land in mud
Wind is brilliantly in her element
Gloating a bit that she commands the grays
She brings ominous excitement to Chicago’s skyline
Wind cuts through shoulders
Reminding the commuters who the boss is
They begin to button their trench coats.
Wind is on a tear
The rest of us defer to her
Even the gargoyles at the top of buildings lower their eyes
