Clouds
explode
into
orange cotton flames
burning
the evening sky
into
a science fiction poster.
Watching
the light display
he
thought about Sunday school color book
pages
of fire and brimstone.
Was
it faith or fear that kept
him
glued to the pew when he was ten?
He
looked at his watch and wondered
if
God had Armageddon penciled in on the calendar.
With
one last gulp of coffee dinner was over.
Crumbling
the questions into his napkin
he
tossed them in the trash and went back to work.
