Gloria Divine//21st Century Boy Scared

I think we should meet some morning

In this life or after

And talk about why we don't talk anymore

It's over for us in this life

But when our mortal forms fail and our energies marry together to tear apart the cosmos,

We will have all this time in this multiverse to reminisce

And talk about why we don't talk anymore

JESUS DIED FOR SOMEBODY'S SINS BUT NOT REVEREND MOON'S

//

Children fear the darkness unknown

Adults fear taxes

The elderly fear death

Kings fear politics

God fears plain white non-existence

I'm not scared of bats or snakes or landlords or two creeping red lights in a bush at night

I'm scared only of how to tell mum I'm sad

I'm not scared of losing a job or falling asleep at the wheel or bone atrophy or tinnitus

I'm scared only of telling mum I need therapy

Heart palpitations and my girlfriend cheating and fireworks pointed at me and floating away from my spacecraft into black-nothingness don't scare me

Neither do the sights of rapids ahead

None of these things keep me paralyzed at night

The only fear I have is telling mum I don't want to be alive anymore
