Portents

If I had a crystal ball........

oh, wait a minute,

I do;

right out there in the back yard

on the Vulcan Weathervanes beacon light

made in the 1980s from recycled railings;

Well, then

since the rising sun over the fence is catching the globe in its rays

creating an appropriate changing picture of frost and mist

but with a clearing atmosphere within

- under the unfluence of Old Sol -

it causes me to speculate;

That crystal ball has sat there on that cobbled creation, offering readings

if anyone cared to look

of the state of the union and many etceteras

for the entire eight years of ex. President George Bush & co.

and before,

and now, under Obama

a mist is clearing and a sunny day obtains

and that is good news for a hand-shader

of a 2 pixel antique digital camera.
