No
Power In The Tower
by Bud Lemire on Aug 9,

I was
chatting with Bonnie and Linda in the back
When all of a
sudden the night went completely black
A bat was
flying around, so we came in to chat some more
Another
resident in her nightie, opened up the door
People left
in darkness, came in to say hello
Wondering
what had happened, did anybody know
Some said it
was an accident, over on tenth street
Whether that
was true or not. information was incomplete
Len was on
the job, and trying to get through
Judi stopped
by, but there was nothing she could do
Sisters
Rebecca and Ginger were playing pool in the dark
Out in the
hallway walking, there was Mark
One Katie was
upset, because she couldn't watch TV
While Crazy
Katie with her glasses on, looked sleepy
One Bob got
knocked off his computer, came in to sit
On this side
of Ludington street, some lights weren't lit
Evelyn
arrived, walking down eleven flights of stairs
She said the
elevator light wasn't lit, so she wouldn't dare
The elevators
worked mostly, now and then they'd go out
As curiousity
kept many people, pacing all about
Linda and I
decided to return to the fifteenth floor
The elevator
numbers went out at the closing of the door
Diane peeked
out of her room, when she heard our words spoken
She saw it
was dark on the street, and had just awoken
It wasn't too
long later, the power came back on
I settled
back with some light music, listening to a song
This actually happened the night of August 8th
from around 9 PM until 12 Midnight.
