Wind Is a Tyrant Today

Wind is a tyrant today Whipping scarves and purses off people She laughs as some land in mud Wind is brilliantly in her element Gloating a bit that she commands the grays She brings ominous excitement to Chicago’s skyline Wind cuts through shoulders Reminding the commuters who the boss is They begin to button their trench coats. Wind is on a tear The rest of us defer to her Even the gargoyles at the top of buildings lower their eyes

I loved it so much that I intentionally made it the last line.
