we’ve all done it here in quake country
found a sudden wabble in our walk
driven over a strangely rough patch of
pavement we hadn’t noticed or looked out
the window to try to catch that concrete
truck rumbling down the road
as the earth shakes it seems to first draw
explanations of logic and reason
I must be getting old they need to fix these roads
these giant vehicles should not drive down our street
if it continues the shift is quick to something
much angrier more sinister
the planet is squeezing its fingers together
balling them into a fist shaking with fury
and then we get the message
our world is quite alive
and not very happy
