Noodle Lake
The calm lake woke up suddenly
On an all consuming day
Received its first visitor from above
A truck, a tractor trailer fell from the sky
Crashed!...An accident perhaps
A high ridge to sharp
A curve too narrow
It split open like an egg on impact
Tons of noodles scurried out
Boiled up soft in high noon heat
Lunch fell over Summer over time
A waterfall shaped like a ladle
Cascading noodles watered down
Well done for sure and swirled
But what about the driver?
The sun said, I'll take two scoops
Save the rest for later
We'll see what the lake stirs up
