just like that, in no time flat
the cover off the bottle
and there is a hurricane
blowing, howling like holy hell
and you haven't a choice
you have to drink,
you have to swallow
who took the cap off
deliberately or accidentally
who or what let this out, set this off
my God, I hope my sons,
their mother and all of their siblings
are safe and sound
don't know what
the house they abide in can withstand
what, I wonder, has caused
all hell to break loose
this is a visitation, a visitor
far worse than Columbus
than Ponce de Leon
what change
will have been visited upon us
in a day or two
among this archipelago of islands
