Laying in silence under the bed
Waiting for the roll of thunder
Counting the seconds since the flash
One thousand and one
Day has turned to night in 30 seconds
Bright sun to dark, damp air
Bristling with static charge
One thousand and two
Stillness was replaced with wild wind
blowing from no particular direction
One thousand and three
One thousand and four
One thousand and five
A distant rumble
another bright flash.
