Zeus Redux

My poem, Zeus Redux, is up at the New Verse News. Here is the poem and a link to the site(with a great cartoon).

Zeus Redux

We do it by ionizing
the radiation and shifting
the polarization of the earth’s
magnetic core

millions of times per second.
We control it
from a basement apartment
in Hoboken—

that bluest of blue towns,
paid for by the DNC.
The four of us
do the weathering

on two old Apple laptops.
Our biggest concern
is the intermittent loss of the internet.
Damn Comcast.

We do our best
to make the heat and storms
believable—
blamable on climate change.

What a hoax.
Few have noticed
it is only the red areas
suffering the ill effects.

But now, one or two of the wise
have picked up on it,
I assure you that will end
with completion of our next project.

Lightening bolts.
