toronto’s current thunderstorm
a thunderous affair
sounds like
100,000 pound objects
falling from the sky
exploding on earth
yet looking outside
it’s simply raining
no lightning
traffic lights
across the street
stuck on stop
and blinking
oh wait now
i hear a siren screaming
a strange-sounding siren at that
i hear another one
sounding a bit more like our regular sirens
it’s become quiet again
