explosion

this morning 9:15 an explosion.

the house shook with the boom.

that's the essence of this poem.

noteworthy: power's gone.

a puff of smoke cleared half a block away.

all is silent, also worth note.

city workers walking by out front

said a transformer blew, they pointed.

here no need to heat or cool.

as weather's in the middle,

neither hot nor cold.

patience is required and all will be fine.

city workers are on the job.

meanwhile our coffee is made and cooling.

we'll soon be up and running.

i made this note.

while keeping an eye out.

you never can tell.
