Winds Blast Across Illinois Farm Land~Or, Are These Political Winds? If Yes! They’re Kicking Up A Lot of Dung

 

This afternoon we had a small dust storm. The farmer across the road from me had turned over his field during the past week. Today the winds picked up the dirt and manure from his fields and ran it straight north.

The wind tunnel was an interesting sight. So I decided to Video tape it for you. I was really glad the wind didn’t shift and come out of the west and head east. That would have brought all the dust down on me. 

 Check out the video. I add a short poem.

Winds blast

across the open field

Pushing in from the south

tearing to the north

Too close

Yet, just far enough away

I should head back 

to the house

If the winds shift

I will be covered

in dust and manure

A powdery layer

That will coat everything

This Place is

Dubbed…

Tornado Alley

Not that one ever hit the house

They all seem to jump over

to somewhere else

As political winds do

Unless they want to cost you money

Then they stay, and

rip your roof off

For now I watch

I lean against my car

It convulses

as the wind

beats against it

in an attempt to push it

and me

off this road…
