Summer Storm

I get the feeling
the neighborhood kids
are turning against me.

Tonight, thunder
to the north
over Lake Erie.

All signs seem ominous,
a flash of lightning,
death of sunflowers.

There are arguments,
a disconnect, an
over-saturation.

These rain barrels
overflow in a downpour,
puddle on our lawn.

I sent the kids home
an hour ago sensing a
fistfight, a summer storm.
