Virginia is coal country and as a result
when the earth shook it acted
like a perfect bell causing movement
to ripple across the rock
creating shock waves all the way to Canada.
Throughout Washington D.C. they were grateful
the shaking wasn’t a terrorist attack
relieved in was only an earthquake.
In New York the swaying of the tall buildings
forced citizens out into the streets
where they realized, if this were a major
event, there would be no place to run.
Across the continent in Orange County
residents felt an ache in their gut
wondering if that perfect bell
could force vibrations across the land
with California finally breaking off
and falling into the ocean?
