days gone.

thor's day is here.
just like every week.
the day-off times are through,
too soon,
and without enough action.
it's been the should-be-asleep-times
when all the get-busy business is showing up;
there've been top-secret late-night lightning storms
for a few nights now.
fresh.
that's secret universal determination, duders:
the thunder is bringing itself.
and that might very well be the best part about
super-unseasonably hot days;
evaporation, and recondensation.
mid-evening, pre-sunset cumulonimbi, ninjas.
refreshing.
cleansing.
nourishing.
the backyard foliage went from nubs to shrubs
in just a few days.
the goldenbells are out in the front yard,
and memories of hamden, ct. are strong.
(green and yellow and forsythia like you read about.)
it's overcast like a ground-level riot-suppressant.
fumigated, y'all,
with misty dewdrops and rainy teardrops,
and all that wet watery wishful washing.
i'll take the vaporous veil in the meantime,
and let the air rinse itself out.
nice, kid... nice.
***********
our buddy jim came by and munched up some thai treats.
that equates to one friend for wednesday dinner.
just one.
uno.
vanilla sky?
maybe.
we went to a raging white-water falling riverside,
and some mountaintop farmlands,
and felt all new englandy,
and all that.
i made scratchtastic peanut chili sauce.
(heroic freshness, out of my own brain's recipe)
and once we were full to the brim,
we took it up to eleven.
a little more fat-belly fury an' that.
we had some strawberry 'shortcake'.
actually,
modified biscuits...
but shortcake, even in quotes, still sounds better.
i don't know what's in shortcake,
and i don't care, either.
i just know that what i made was vegan,
and delicious.
they weren't even short.
i just needed some sweet breadsly goodness,
for soy whip and strawberries,
and i got what i needed.
word up.
**********
this day is important.
i mean,
they ALL are.
but today's the day.
lots of tatblasting is ahead of me,
lots of weird weather.
and lots and lots of thunder.
i hope there're some answers grumbling
and rumbling alongside the pressure collisions.
besides antlers, i mean.
the whole of the next month's worth of days
are slipping out of sight too quickly.
today is important,
like i said,
because one day's worth of time,
at a time,
is how we're gonna make these moments matter more.
thunder and lightning;
never quiet, never soft.....
