They Want to Know and to Be Known

He wants to know why
the weather forecast
isn’t just what the weather
is outside

Why it feels like
this
or why it feels
like that?

Why not just
what the
temperature is?
he asked

And I would have liked
to say
it’s because we also
move on emotion
and feeling
not just logic
and procedures

That the description
is just only that
and so we need
to colour in
the facts

Even in simple matters
like the weather
to be able to withstand
the monotony
of checking in
on the weather
of just
another passing
day
