This weeks news brings déjá vu or premonition
a dream
many moons ago
of sounded, synced alarms
amongst strangers in a diner
eerily gazing
from phones to faces
the same message
all the same sounded alarm
in and around
floods in Brooklyn
resonating waves
from my subconscious
into my waking betas
regurgitating it's marks
on friends and family;
or any stranger who listened
resurrecting again
as chatter surfaces
in news of an entire nation
in preparation of
sounding alarms
on every cellphone,
tv or radio station
an electronic warning tone
just after a week prior
of strong weather
had left Brooklyn flooded
.....
and then the sky fell
