Weather Change.

When does the weather change?
I am tired of this sunny sky.
When does the night come?
When does the rain come?

When will this weather change?
When will my father tell me
That the weather is supposed
To change tomorrow?
When will the television stop
Telling me what to know about tomorrow.

I want my father to tell me.

Father, when will it rain again?
Father, I know it is only June,
But, I still want to hear it from you
That it won’t snow until November.

I want YOU to tell me about the
Tornado in ‘58 that killed 40.
I want YOU to tell me how to
Make it through that kind of a storm.
I want YOU to tell me about the
Drought of 1920 that put all the farms
Out of business.
I want YOU to tell me that that is why
We became an industrial city.
Because this city could no longer
Live with such economical instability.
I want YOU to explain to me
That that is how you ended up being a patron
At the bar mother had to work at.
I want to hear it from YOU.

So, this is becoming an industrial city,
And THAT’S why there are so many bars.
So, you have a hard working job,
And that’s why you could go to the bars.
So, tell me, father, people didn’t see
Women as an equal at your times.
So, tell me, father, that’s why she
Worked at the bar you went to then.
Because that was the only job she could get.

Tell me, father.
I want to hear it all from you.

So, tell me father,
About the rain when it
Was October.
Tell me about the freezing
Rain that happened when
You were trying to drive
Me home at 2 am.
Tell me, father, about
You proposal to my mother.
Tell me father, about
The fear in young, male,
High school drops without
Families that they would
Be drafted to Vietnam first.

*(insert censor here)*

Tell me, father,
About warm summer rains,
Or the October forewarning chill.
Tell, me father, about
The seasonal weather that seem so instinct to love,
Yet, they are conceived to be such a bother
Because they are not the ideal.

Because I was a rain on
Your summer night,
I am very sorry.
