Robinson Crusoe Orders a Generator from Amazon.com

 

Another hurricane, warning or watch

One forgets which while clearing off the lawns

Of chairs and toys and all the summer dreams

And giving the generator its monthly run

 

In practiced unison we again recite

The liturgies of flashlight batteries

Bottled water, paper plates and plastic sporks

And Meals-Ready-To-Eat, though they really aren’t

 

Another hurricane, warning or watch -

And maybe just an inch or two of Scotch
