POWER 2

I Am Writing
With My Black & Silver Pen
In A New Book
Of Black, Power
Black
Like The Hurricane
Approaching Tonight
From The Eastern Seaboard
Of The United States
I Sit In My Wrought Iron Chair
& See Only Fog
No 150 km/hr Gusts Yet
Spiralling Into Our House
But I Am Nervous:
Where Is Self Organizing Galaxy?
On The Minds
Of Thousands —
Soon To Be Millions?
Hurricane Arthur! I was in North Carolina when it hit!
It didn’t do any damage to us, only downed the internet for several days.
