Thunder and Lethargy

Vancouver thunder came in sync
with rain on chimps in Senegal,
David Attenborough reflected on
an orphan accepted and adopted.

Pavement simmered
clouds rumbled into a sigh;
I embraced flannel comforter,
eyed the apes on my laptop.

Lethargy had won, but my loss
was not without consolation.
