supernova

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky

Through the thick fog the sun seemed like the white eye of a dead fish. Then it sank and disappeared. . .
I drove forward through dark empty space. Drifting. Then with sudden force a distant star went supernova. From the grey void of the thick morning fog a pin point of light appeared, then expanded a hundred fold reaching through the mist. Ground zero. Black pod speeding through heat and light. My windshield lit, reflecting the twinkling light of a dew drop universe splashed across the glass. The nova blazed on. I dropped my visor. Then, in just moments, exhausted of all energy the dying star collapsed in upon itself and winked out. Black hole or Neutron Star, the universe became dark. Suddenly chilled, I turned on the heater. I pressed the accelerator and cruised on through the heavy morning fog. An hour passed. It came to me. I flipped up the visor.

“think fog”? Interesting new concept and certainly the phrase fills a huge space found in most schools I’ve worked in over the years. If you’ve ever been there you’d see the staff meeting in your photo where usually normal adults are lost in “think fog” as they plan another school year. But I won’t get started, now, will I? I’ll slip into my stoney silence and go paddle in the rain until my mood changes.
Funny. correction made. Interesting term though “think fog” I may have to use it intentionally sometime.
