10/28/2019 Poetry: cassidy McfadzeanTHE END OF THE WORLD WAS ANTI-CLIMATIC Bees waxed apocalyptic Change came in drones Cryptocurrency mining hurled the earth’s temp over its two degrees stronghold The permafrost thawed Iced Capps capsized Ancient seeds sprouted primordial strains of disease We were plagued by ennui Gave thanks our daily laundry to the teens practicing necromancy We battened the escape hatch Lowered false flags to half mast Missed the last lifeboats Setting sail off lost coasts Cassidy McFadzean's new book is Drolleries (M&S 2019). |
