WELL

WELL

trust you are well
dear heart

coping sweetly with life
in these suddenly dark days

a war about power, about resources, about survival
about hastening
every conceivable
apocalypse

forcing
God’s hand

as for me, I sat outside,
either blessed or cursed
(take your pick) to
see a world
without us at all

so went into the kitchen
only to switch on the kettle
and watch the element
burn incandescent

which
    of course, has a simple,
purely Occam’s razor
physical explanation

geopolitical
consideration

which should be exhausted,
done to death

before we get it into our heads
this is it, Armaggedon, Book
of Revelations

good versus evil
evil
     versus very bad
inner circle of
Hell evil

believer against believer,
agnostic, atheist, heretic and apostate

trust you are
well

and by some miracle
none of this dare touch you
