What if we pissed Sol off? He's still young enough to cop an attitude, I think.
Solar Attitude
I know you have spots
in certain places, hot spots
that could kill us all.
I fear you will go
off here, right here at any
moment without cause,
that I will be turned
at that moment into dust
only dimly shown
in the gassy flow,
the cataclysm you are,
and then you subside
(as if I was never here)
as if you never
act like that at all.

The recent solar storms are playing havoc with our computers (my husband's an astronomy enthusiast and always follows solar activity). I chuckled at your opening lines though. I'm a haphazard psychic. My "guide" used to use the nickname of Sol, until I managed to find out his preferred name. Yeah... I follow a very convoluted way. He was the person I would dedicate the angel poem to. It fits our relationship perfectly. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe don't seem to have that sort of trouble, though people fret about it. The system is robust. I don't know why. I assume there is redundancy built in. It has been so through my lifetime here in the US. However we do have storm damage or something crashing a pole occasionally.
DeleteI had to go to East Pakistan (before it was Bangladesh) in order to experience a tentative power supply.
We live in rural Scotland. Our phone line lies next to a field. as in under one inch of dirt running alongside a dirt track. Last time we had trouble was after a tractor road over it and squashed it.
ReplyDeleteon the plus side deer sleep in our back yard and the birds are amazing. You can't have it all.
There is a place in me that rebels when someone jumps in at some level of having "it" and says "you can't have it all" I find myself saying why the hell not?? Back in the day I used to holler, "Not fair!"
DeleteThanks. :-) That was a perfectly timed reminder. Yes,.. why the hell not?
