The weatherman says

“The eye of the storm
never hit land
although obviously the eye wall did.”
Obviously.
Like now we’re all supposed to know what an “eye wall” is.
Meanwhile: I’m having these dreams
where Mr. Roarke was originally
Tattoo and he’s saying
“The Plane, The Plane”
in rolling tones with a sweeping hand.
And then he gets promoted and the new Tattoo comes in.
And the new Tattoo thinks “Alright! I’ve got a job with upward mobility!”
But he’s wrong about that.
And those white seaplanes keep dipping down
slowing to a stop
while the eye wall of Tattoo
becomes dark, clustered, clumped.
Obviously.
As he floods on the inside.
