How The World Ended

And we hugged the hubcaps that
hung from the windows,
And we took six foot neckties to bed.

***

This is your atomic bad dream,
these are mushroom clouds for real
The horizon is black at a thousand feet per second
The radio screams the end.

Sleep now
Sleep

The movement was too much
The cries too loud
The hunger too fierce
The eyes too blind
The minds too trapped
