It keeps raining while the sun is shining 
grey clouds look Photoshopped over white puffs and blue sky 
The deep drumming of thunder 
like bass from a concert two miles away 
The sun shines through cracks between clouds 
shimmering through a spiderweb 
illuminating select strands 
in a cuneiform design 
or some secret language 
quivering with high intensity 
the message flashing like a digital billboard 
What is the world desperately trying to say? 
so badly it has conspired the spider, the shape of moisture, the time of day 
to project this specific notice 
A cloud swallows the sun  
and the web seems to disappear 
The landscape looks like another country
