Lightning They Name Is Woman
there is a tree in the forest
targeted by lightning in a storm
ten times more likely to get hit
than any other tree
because lightning has a “type”
like men have a “type”
she goes after an oak
six times more often than any other tree
no one knows why
because they have forgotten that lightning is a woman
who wants to destroy the sturdy and the strong
she wants to take down a man
