Suck on this Joni Mitchell. Well isn't that a great way to start the day? Our author seems to be able to find menace almost anywhere. I found an even more angry cloud poem, but that will have to wait.

            The Violence of Clouds
           Shrieking white rips the
           blue.  Cirrus-serrated
           gashes acid-sear gouging
           ice-crystal rasp-ripping.  
Cumulus layer on layer blubber-tumbles
havoc, cirrus sprint shredded
slivers of white joint-torn
steel-shard splintered, 
                                             phlegm-belching
cumulus damning cirrus, lacquers
up the blue, and
                                   scars slide off to
                                   sight’s horizon.

Owl Meat Gray skies,
By Jove, that's a Rorschach blot of a H-bomb explosion.
I think it looks like me covered in that foam they spray on runways on my new bike.
