if_the_city_goes_dark
birdmad the hot days seem to be the worst ones for that sort of thing to happen.

a power substation burned
the service grid facing a strain

if it came during kinder weather it would be nice to see the stars unobstructed by the light pollution from the orange glow of the streetlamps, but in the summer, the city will sleep only about as well as the restless and feverish when the shadows fall.

for some reason, on days like today, it seems as though the sky would be more appropropriate if it was red.

belly fire if the city goes dark
I would still see everything clearly
with my new super vision

raze we'll all stagger
sway
and feel our way
through terminal twilight
on a level playing field
