As politicians emerge from legislative
burrows, leaning on superstition
(believing if it is a sunny day
the shadow they see must only be
projected by our former insurgency)
they’ll rush back to their chambers
for six more weeks of uncertainty.
If eventually the lawmakers choose
weather to guide a fearful nation,
will the groundhog please speak up,
maybe mention the shadow they’ve seen
is the thick head of their own invention.
