Not So Funny This Limerick
"May West" twin towers
Duce my eastern sky
And harangue dawn sun's
Awakening smile.
Concrete slip formed heavenward
Now plume gaseous
Vapors steamed hot to
Cool the bowels of
Domed chain reaction.
So long familiar
Just formed white -grey clouds
Join with crossing winds
Whose path's direction
Unknown until trailed.
East the other day
I looked in dismay,
No vapors to veil
The violet sky. Why?
"Three Mile Island" chill
Raised my neck hairs to stand.
What monsters eons
Past collage synapse
To recoil this theme?
Gone is familiar so
Instinct rules the day.
"Shut down" they called it,
"Inadvertent though",
The official line.
