Sweet Honey Outlook

You take what has happened,
Usually recently,
And you examine it,

Compare it to patterns
Of earlier events
And subsequent events,

And you make a forecast,
At which point the forecast
Is something that’s happened,

Part of recent events.
If the forecast looks good,
The recent past looks good,

No matter the forecast
Is past and the recent past
Has not gone well at all.

The snowpack’s good this year.
The reservoirs should fill.
The bees have recovered.

If the world remembers
How the world used to go,
These frames will overflow.
