Enact suicide pact
with the rest of the world
Rest in oblivion’s wake
Gnash and quake as Vivian breaks
boards on A-bomb
Neil shaking in short-legged, oak veneer Anderson shelter
Scene vanishes, melts away
Increase heat on secret municipal meetings
crooked finger greetings and fleeting bleatings
from a wool-shorn, well-worn populous
taking a fleecing from opulent upper echelons
Stop questioning the wrong ones and ask yourself:
What got us here in the first place?
