insomnia
the end is near
explosions are only the beginning
the people ran from the enemy within
emptying ten story buildings in a matter
of mere minutes
I swear you were born yesterday
and now you are dying like the rest of us
at some point there is no looking back
there is only the explosions
the earth has died many times before
only to come back more beautiful than ever
like the calm before the storm
november two thousand twenty-one
