Rude Awakening

Sensitivity to nerves ripe with fear
as the sky opens directly over my
head: lightning flashing! Thunder
crashing! Rain blowing sideways
on mad sheets of wind: a tornado
of sound. A massive jolt finds me
blinking stupidly from the floor at
the sun streaming in through the
window. All that panic for nothing.
What a way to begin the morning!
