CRISP

CRISP

the angel
is fixated

cannot
take its eyes
off the nuclear
clock now
only
seconds from midnight

using every effort
supreme act of will
to try
   and retard
since no hope of reversing

damned thing
ticking
keeps
on ticking

bringing
ecstatic hope
to zionists everywhere
for whom
if only it
  might move a
little faster

praying for rapture
urging it on

leaving our angel
baffled beyond belief
struggling
     with basic comprehension

unable to even
hesitate a guess as to
how they are
going to get
to lift
    themselves up

all
the way to
high Heaven

if gone in a flash
burnt to a crisp

sick to the bone via
billions of Roentgens
of radiation
