The Weather Is Agog Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

The weather is agog


For those who don´t get it
nature is revolting
drowning island
flooding cities.
New York is the new Venice
rowing boats are in.
The top floor
is where the rich dwell
drowning of those
lower down is common.
The lady of liberty has lost her head.
Sharks in Wall Street
what´s new?
Refugees in the Andes
they are poor and white
Americans.
The clime is heating up
bananas from Greenland
still, we haven´t got it
calls it freak weather.
