No one told me that there was lightning at 4 am

How often does this happen?

Mine was the only car on the road

While driving from your apartment

And there was lightning

Instead of stars

No thunder

No people out that I could see

Just sleepy San Diego

And me

Happier than I have been in a long time

Despite the fact that I could not sleep

And the fact that I am sure parts of me are missing

And the fact that I feel the least alone when I actually am alone

I saw flashes of lightning

As I drove back to my haunted house

But for whatever reason

I was happy

And I wonder

How often does this happen?
