last week the highs were in the sixties <br />this week lows in the sixties <br />i watch the sky tonight <br />but i won't learn the names of the stars <br />or their patterns <br />it will kill something <br />that i won't let die <br />i want the stars to remain what they really are <br />mystical <br />no need to name the stars <br />we have the sattelites <br />and GPS <br />i like storms alot though <br />i am a scientist of sorts <br />crude barbaric uneducated <br />but i like to observe <br />and make predictions <br />second to second <br />minute to minute <br />and see what happens <br />will that front stall east or west of the city <br />how much time will pass between the smell of rain <br />and the rain <br />this one was mutant though <br />not violent <br />but powerful just the same <br />biggest lightning i've seen in my life <br />not in sky filling spiderwebs <br />but thick solid light beams <br />long duration discharges <br />ripping the darkness <br />then would bounce back and forth <br />between the clouds <br />like a pitcher <br />warming up his next throw <br />it came in from the north <br />in sort of an L shape <br />the west side <br />would come out <br />race ahead, stall <br />then fill back in east <br />thick blue-chrome arcs <br />i thought the substation was hit twice <br />i only live a block from it <br />ive seen it go before <br />this was big lightning <br />the flashes were that bright <br />the rain was hard middle weight pelts <br />not big lazy thoppers <br />or tinny hail-sleet <br />mean hard bullets from the sky <br />somewhere i read that <br />we have had the most idealic weather in the planet's history <br />for the last seventy years <br />i know we didnt save for a rainy day <br />and i know it's not your problem or mine <br />myself <br />i think it will be a beautiful show <br />with horrific consequenses <br />i think if noah were alive today <br />he'd chain himself to the shrine of the martyr <br />and sing i wish it would rain<br /><br />Nat Z.
