THE END





Any sense is stumbling,

I believe with the greatest



ability to do so.



A thousand breakfasts go by



without a single plate.

This is a world where the cars



drive themselves

and the children tuck us in



at night. Somehow, we don’t mind



the thought that we might

not wake up or even be reincarnated



after the world whimpers and whines

toward its mournful end.



I like that look on your face—

let me keep on guessing



wordlessly and thoughtfully.



It’s time to leave this place

worse off than we found it.
