Other Amenities are Extra

You know how when you arrive in a place
you aren't from and it's either raining

or there's torrents of sunlight, 
and the people that greet you say Oh

you've brought the {       } weather with you!
And of course you're not the author

of such changes in the atmosphere,
only of the particular grammar 

of the narrative you're simmering in
at any given moment. Teacup clouds

swirl or settle and you don't remember
if you're supposed to read the message

before or after you drink the liquid.
One morning you wake up thinking beauty 

beauty beauty or {         } while offering 
a plate of inelegant flesh to the mirror.  

Is it true that exiles and refugees are more
tender in the gut? You only know the bed

you were shown since your arrival. Good
utility. Working toilet. View of parking lot.
