Questions?
None knew when the world ended,
though there were theories aplenty,
more than enough to bury all the dead
beneath the weight of empty speculation.
We knew it had happened, you see.
Had, was, will have, had been happening,
every conjugation found employment,
but explanations were stillborn.
This was a scab at which we could pick
for a generation at least, a wound
indifferent to healing or to the danger
of infection, amputation's assured.
The day the world ended's a mystery,
but it is certainly not the only one.
