• The Clouds Remain Indifferent

  I told the clouds that I’d grown
  tired of this endless gray weather.
  But the clouds, being clouds,
  paid no mind. They draped the sky—
  unmoved, unchanging, heavy.
  And then, as if to punctuate
  their apathy, they laughed—a
  thunderous, booming laugh, and
  poured their oceans upon my
  solitary discontent. Admitting defeat,
  I retreated indoors, realizing once again
  that the universe is splendidly indifferent
  to our delicate human whims. And that,
  given time, conditions will always change,
  though rarely in the ways we wish.
