perhaps it's about time to leave for work

The fear was in the northeast.
We watched it coming in low
like a jetliner. No, you said,
like a flock of starlings. No,
you said, like a single bird of prey
or like a dark balloon
or like some new form of weather.

- "The Fear Was in the Northeast," G.C. Waldrop
