Billy Collins is my silent mentor in the art and craft of poetry. He has no
imitators, but I'm trying hard! This poem takes an ordinary experience,
that is expressed in hyperbole, and turns it into a work of art. It is not
about the wind, but the suceptibility of humans to succumb to the obvious,
as if it were some kind of mystery! And they do it en mass!
