Storm Troopers

when the 
sullen, nebulous clouds
rips 
the last phase of today's flare
and the storms 
decides to plunge and cast the die
calling the shots 
settle down and watch 
as I march down to besiege the city 
under such 
god-fearing thunderstorms 
while all these night-trippers
try to unstunk their shirts 
from little spates of avalanche
