Write

Fool is substituted for intended word It has been a beautiful day, warm and true and you've played through the bulk of it. Now! Get to work, earn your keep! Write, you Fool, write! There are great events moving in the sky above. Events of which you are hardly aware. You are but a snail on the bottom, witness to the great battle of the seasons! Write, you Fool, write! Write how you first became aware as you walked down the trail to the sun of how the cool rain on your warm face caught you by surprise and you looked up. Write, you Fool, write! True to your code, your snivelly code, you pulled up your hood and turned back. But some saving muse caused you to stop, and do what a writer should do. Write, you Fool, write! Witness the black cloud ridges galloping from the North that frame and dwarf the high radio towers, each support line etched in the smoky black pilling in. Write faster, you're missing it! Write, you Fool, write! Write about the lone airplane emerging from chaos, Southbound, sigh of relief in its arrow straight flight. Do they mark the rainbow forming out of the eerie half glow as a promised end to the flight? Write, you Fool, write! All that drama in the sky, better than any film making hack could achieve, or romance driven scribbler could ever get right! I stand transfixed on the trail in the chill air. Write, you Fool, write!
