(5) February 28, 2010: The Big One

THE BIG ONE

  Surprised as usual by disaster,
Thought the status quo would last,
  The telescope of kind retrieval
Brought an ace from up the sleeve.

  And just in time the knot untangled,
Took the pain within the pang,
  Eloped with truth it found unbending,
Shook the dusty sandal's trend.

  Denying stats that shamed remittance,
All at once the gavel hit.
  O desperate throat with fear awakened,
Crawl to earth and crying quake.
