Apocalypse (Old Poem)


Radioactive ice-fire preoccupies minds
Asteroids, war, rising tides
Nibble and gnaw
Dates, facts, figures
Even enormous dinosaurs fell
Better off not knowing
Best yet, unable to guess
Endings appear as middles, ordinary
Brick walls at high speeds don’t move
Keep going, to stop is impossible

  1. I know these feels for sure. I especially like "Endings appear as middles" --it gets at the way we don't always know we're at the ending when we get there.

    1. Thank you for your words.
      That's exactly what I was getting at.
