45*21

along the road of the enamored
lie the heads of many totem
left strewn for us to look at
as we cough up little change for ending days
the statue yawns wide exposing sun
as they lap the slop up with hard bread
this is the coffin talking
actually laughing
my kid said he was having anxiety
thinking about the end coming
I said. "Nobody knows what's coming"
your end may come but you may never know
coughing into the ever eternal
and what is it, some sort of reality
then you ask the waiter for the check
as the cafe explodes
nobody's left alive
that you can see
but you can't see
because the end came sooner than you thought
but the end is really at the end of thought
