by FRANCO BERTUCCI
They used to name hurricanes after women
and fathers who have daughters know why,
and if I were a woman, I’d be flattered
To be associated with a beautiful force
no man can handle, or understand,
but can only watch in awe-
while holding onto something.
If it were up to me,
we would still name hurricanes after women only
and blame ourselves for the wreckage.
But, if there were a need to balance things out,
we could name mud slides after men.
