The Destruction of Estero Island

(FMB: Fort Myers Beach, Florida)

The Destruction of Estero Island

Hours before the eye of the storm

An unthinkable intrusion occurred

The frightening reality show on daylight TV

Those Final moments of FMB

Time to get out Disabled-Tik Tok Tiky

Screams expanding increasingly viral

No dry ground to hide from this monstrosity

Uninvited Invincible Aqualung

In the blink of a cruel belligerent eye

His velocity rivaling the speed of sound

The dream lives of thousands forever Gone

With the Wind.
