State of Emergency

After the wind stops blowing We will pull down the shades The thunder rumbles past our yellow, one story apartment. Standing close to the foamy shores I can hear the newscaster murmur its warnings of another flash flood watch. I adjust my headphones, picking up a Vogue to pass the time.
