Still Thinking About Lightning

NPM #5

I think once the month is over, and I come back to these, maybe I'll find a way to combine the two pieces (hence the numbering, 1 and 2)

"Lightning"

2
Purple billows interrupted by an encroaching skyline.
Gray legos randomly stacked like bars of an equalizer.
(Pump up the volume.)
When you strike, we get the whole sound,
but there's only a fraction of the brilliance.
(This used to be wide open plains here.)
Been crowding you for a long time now.
But when you get good and ready,
you'll make room.
