To have a leaky roof and endure leaky politics is too much, and only be offered a packet of chips by one Presidential nominee who shall remain nameless, if the glove fits the hand.
I like the gently suggestive subtlety of this poem. What I see is people arguing ‘party politics’ but not addressing what is a threat to us all. Sandy might bring more people to take Global Warming seriously.
I like the subtlety of this poem. The image of 'party politics' ignoring something that threatens us all, and the poem itself only hinting at that threat. Genius. Maybe Sandy will be a wake-up call for Global Warming sceptics.

heartbreak in this haiku:
no roof over our heads

I saw a relationship in need of some patching up! Good one.
