| 17 | a small wind, looking for someone |
| 19 | a rain that has not decided |
| 21 | the bell, and after the bell, nothing |
| 23 | moon behind the chimney; cold |
| 01 | an hour the office does not predict |
| 03 | rain again; harder; honest |
| 05 | it will be quiet by the time you wake |

a forecast in the wrong register, drafted by an observer who, that night, was perhaps tired. the office did not file it; somebody in the office kept it. it predicts no figures, only what may be true. it is read most often around four a.m. when the figures, anyway, are not what matters.
