(i sit, lawn chair extended on the front lawn as across the street, two
neighbors, eyes twitching from an indescretion of property line violation,
begin to edge nearer each other. the air beginning to take a subtle,
aeromatic hint of dissonance. a torrent brewing. two clouds preparing to
share applause of zeus' mighty hands, the thunderous exchange of frury,
lightning, and thunder! and i, in my chair, sip my tea ready to count the
seconds between flash, and clap.)
