Watching Tornado Warnings In Oklahoma

will it pass this way again? nobody knows because the community library has to many paperbacks and the clouds to many sins. will twain swirl in the rain? will steinbeck hit the deck? will it pass? will a folk singer from the north play the harmonica piss into a gutter and give some simple remedy? Now there is baptist marmalade in the sun. Now there is rye bread in the oven, but in a cafe on main street there is still..... black coffee. white porcelain cups. thick calloused fingers. all the regulars gathered there just like every other day. an old tv flickers over the counter just off to the left of a warped mirror that has labor union and mason stickers from the early 90s on it.
