Disappointment

The thunderstorm faked us out. It made this big show about coming--everything got all still and muggy, the wind turned blustery, the clouds closed in, the air smelled fresh and anticipatory--and then it rained for maybe two minutes, lightning flashed once (which may have been my imagination, fueled by false hope (or residual head trauma)), and that was it. Then the air got all close and humid again. Sigh. Very disappointing.
