Line-up

More weather.  Maybe this year I am paying attention in a different way.  Could be.  Still... it seems that I have seen more ominous weather this summer.  It feels like way more than simple rain, a normal summer thunderstorm.

The rain and winds arrive suddenly,
Then suddenly
Again.
I watch the weather
Line up in the west
The clouds like football players
Roiling in patterns
Fancy footwork
Only determined by some coach
Somewhere.
This happens every summer
He says
But me
I do not remember a summer
Like this one.
This is not the usual line-up
Of clouds
To the west.
If it happens every summer
Like this
I must have been asleep
Before.
