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
