by Jeremiah Webster
There is the news:
imminent, decisive, news
of green opulence as the world falls apart.
I build my home
as the world falls apart.
There is the torching:
novels, martyrs, torching
of twenty-one centuries as the world falls apart.
I study my books
as the world falls apart.
There is the purchase:
stocks, estates, purchase
of tinder as the world falls apart.
I sell my possessions
as the world falls apart.
There is the burial:
dead neighbor, wife, burial
of dust as the world falls apart.
I sing second life
and the world falls apart.
