How many months in a cloud?                                                Over Geneva I counted summer, in Glendale calculated
winter from the freeway.
I still don’t know.

The sky today hazy but no cloud,
at least none you can count
unless you stop at One.
Weather confuses arithmetic–
I learned that as a kid
on snowy days in school
when all the numbers fade away.
O give me algebra instead
where it’s all inside!
where nothing needs counting
and all the months are just now.
