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
