two days of thunder

my nine

year old

friend asks

where it 

comes from

does it go 

sky down or

ground up? 

i don't 

know.

i know the noise

comes after

the light. 

i know 

that friday the

rainbow rises

from where the

air split with 

white.

through the

window at

namaste

restaurant.

coming here

last year jan

uary my 

friend and i

are crashed

into by a two

fisted cell phone

talker, 

zoom.

he split 

my shoulder 

with speed

like a light.

crash like

thunder. 

i know the noise

comes after

the light. 

my nine

year old

friend asks

where it 

comes from

does it go 

sky down or

ground up? 

i still

don't know...

maybe both

maybe when you're in the 

middle of the strike

in the tin

tinn

ab

ulation

there is 

no up 

or down.

just crash

just zounds

just bright.
