Current Off Again
In the Bahamas, summer's here once more,
Old infrastructure groans, can't take the power load's roar.
Fan and A/C off, sweat pours like a fall,
No relief from the heat, no comfort at all.
Fanning myself with a folded news sheet,
Only makes me hotter, can't beat the heat.
Step outside for a breeze, but none's blowing by,
I want to shout curses at the unrelenting sky.
No more data on my phone, Wi-Fi's gone,
Feel like I've lost touch with the world, living in the dark ages, withdrawn.
Phone just died from flashlight's bright glow,
Can't charge it up, no power to show.
