Ice Storm: Darwin Needs to Re-Think His Errors

 

The electrics flicker off then on, all night long

Which wakes me, and my wake then wakes the dogs

Who protest and blanket-burrow even deeper

While angry sleet rattles the window panes

 

When the weather is foul and the power fails

We are left with a flashlight and a book

Staticky noises from the radio

A bottle of cold coffee, and our thoughts

 

When the night is cold and the wind is strong

One comes to understand that Darwin was wrong
