weird part of the internet

did they ever find out what caused the dolphin pods
to flee LA, the redwings to plunge blindly into the night,
 whales to beach themselves en mass, tsunami clouds?

end of the world 2012, camptown blasts in the ozone layer
sell off your home, your possessions, your children
the sun explodes at noon, nasa time.

ahhh nostalgia. now the bitumen runs
 rich in the burbs of arkansas, i believe god
has it in for the midwest. all that bible thumping
more powerful than a butterfly's wing in a chaos model.


but we're still here. the clock runneth over
grains of sand in the days of our life
cliche   times in the prophetic underbelly
of the usofa. meanwhile my laurel bush needs trimming
the weeds grow apace, batteries die. are mourned in black screens
recycled into poisoned futures sold short.
