Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence. -HW Longfellow

Prezident Cheezel deletes lockdown, deletes the World Health Organization, deletes the memory of George Floyd, then hunkers in his hunker bunker, hunkers with freedom fries at midnight, a lights out party at the House of White. His rancid data dump is oozing out of our phones, like they say go big or go home. Fires on the perimeter spell DOOM MF to the ticks, the fleas, and assorted blood suckers. Ominous weapons and vicious dogs in the streets, The Donald just keeps tweeting from his tweet cheat sheet. Hiding behind shooters shooting looting looters, no one really there, just a ripple of bad energy troubling the space time continuum zone, like they say go big or go home.

 Tear gas clouds obscure the Church of St Johns, where the Cheeseburger in Chief is goner than gone waving a Gideons Bible at the nation, this walk on bit player out of Revelations. Day of the Truffid starring the Emperor Werepig, a rogue Confederate booked for the POTUS gig,
 save us Sleepy Joe Biden, establishment clone, like they say go big or go home.
 Bigging up, Trumpettes rage, rage, against the bleating of the bright: take your virology and shove it brother, punching the air as killer cops break cover. VP Mike Palpatine silently hovers over the floor while a conga line of suckholes grooves out the door to home on the range where the bad boys all roam: like they say go big or go home. - Victor Billot

On the day the world ends A bee circles a clover, A fisherman mends a glimmering net. Happy porpoises jump in the sea, By the rainspout young sparrows are playing And the snake is gold-skinned as it should always be.           On the day the world ends Women walk through the fields under their umbrellas, A drunkard grows sleepy at the edge of a lawn, Vegetable peddlers shout in the street And a yellow-sailed boat comes nearer the island, The voice of a violin lasts in the air And leads into a starry night.   And those who expected lightning and thunder Are disappointed. And those who expected signs and archangels’ trumps Do not believe it is happening now. As long as the sun and the moon are above, As long as the bumblebee visits a rose, As long as rosy infants are born No one believes it is happening now.   Only a white-haired old man, who would be a prophet Yet is not a prophet, for he’s much too busy, Repeats while he binds his tomatoes: There will be no other end of the world, There will be no other end of the world.   -Czeslaw Milosz

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great.  And would suffice. - R. Frost
