 Gray to Green by Raymond A. Foss 
						People, random strangersCool stores
 Hot blacktop
 Eyes turn
 Crackle with energy, anticipation
 Furtive glances to the horizon,
 Instinctively knowing
 Darkening sky
 Deep grays
 Strong edges
 Blue slate to charcoal
 Pale, dimming yellow
 Powerless to pierce through
 
 Color shift
 Gray to green
 Shade like a white pine needle
 Awash over other colors
 Heavy air, scent of foreboding
 Wet feel, distant rumble
 Closer, dread
 Flash and boom
 Inside the fireworks
 Scurry for cover
 Drench
