s’up dawg?

the stock market crashed

the electrical grid failed

plunging a peninsula into darkness 

nothing new 

feels like home, Texas

same shit different place

the view is prettier perhaps, 

different, older


the earth continues to revolve 

on its axis

around the sun

people have stopped panicking 

when things go sideways 

there is no norm, no ballast 


there is only the thing bubbling 

just below the surface 

just under flesh, sinew

in a heart pumping too shallow 

the thing we hold in check


we are not our governments

we are humans trying to to live lives
