i looked for tornadoes in the sky today, thinking about joplin and the phrase "eye of the storm." like all this heat and stillness was just the sky faking, or waiting. the storm chasers in medicine hat are coming for the weather and forgetting all about people's windshields and houses and downtown traffic that never goes away.

she said, "i just have to believe there is something else out there, because if there weren't, this would all just be too random."

i said, "i am not taking the elevator to the tenth floor during a tornado."
