Gone Fission

Sign on the door
hat for the rain
time to split

Tackle what lies
under uncertain surface
Can of worms

Float a long, distracted line
yet attentive
poised to strike if struck

Such high impact
making light of matter
a new, clear distraction

What is lightning, and thunder
surely we know
but still voice-like

Silently strung along
another trip
over

love this for its wordplay (tackle - time to split etc) and for its subject matter
both literal and figurative
and
finally
because we put together a band called can of worms for a few gigs five or six years back
