Another End of the World is Possible
So the world is ending … now what?
excerpt from “Belly-Propelled” by Dan Hanrahan
The revolution will be quiet, slow
Happens in decay, coalescing
Like a guitar string breaking
Forming a new instrument
New songs are played
The revolution is slow and quiet
Beach waves breaking on the sand
People crying in the switchgrass
On the dunes among the lost creatures
Lost futures
The revolution is abandonment
Wildflowers overtaking
Derelict parking lots …
