They want rain without thunder – Frederick Douglass, 1857
for as surely as one, so, too, the other;
the rumble follows the rains; the rains, follow the rumble
history tumbles into this present hour, how we act today transforms into what becomes tomorrow's stories
the rains follow the rumble; the rumble, following rains
for as surely as one, so, too, the other
