The prophesy's been frighteningly right
in the past, but also, sometimes
dreadfully wrong, though they
say that only means it happened
and we just don't know, having
closed our brains at the crucial
time. The prophecy leaves no doubt but
I'm not sure I believe
this post-Independence orgy
of destruction. I would have quit school
by now, abused my credit cards on
distant continents, abused my
body in every way. I would
be flying down a freeway
someplace warm in a car that
barely purrs. I would be
preaching the words of salvation.
The world is ending in July and
I, born kissing August, shall
never see twenty-three.
