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
.

i'm
keeping
a
mini
flashlight
on
my
keychain
in
case
the
subways
fail
.
i
don't
get
claustrophobic
down
there
usually
but
if
the
power
went
out
imagine
my
lungs
would
long
to
collapse
.

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

we'll
all
stagger

and
feel
our
way
through
terminal
twilight
on
a
