2001/electric

Electric colors
on the spines
of the books
shine in the
florescent light.
Rain is coming,
but not here
yet.
I have a kind
of nervous anticipation
that always precedes
certain change.
Usually change
catches us off
guard,
if not, we are
a pacing feline
in the wild,
ready to pounce
on our prey.
