Better Men
Apocalypse, won’t you wait another week? There is a stillness moving through nations like a common cold and I can see the quiet end in the creased smiles of the neighbors who only speak in sympathy cards. The house lost its heating Saturday and something is rotting in the wall behind the radiator. Charming used to be the word I’d use to describe this three floor nest. Clothes are piled in two corners: one for the dirty, one for the clean, and I keep forgetting which is which. The lightbulbs haven’t gone out in months, they just keep getting brighter. And no one catches the flies anymore.
