JANE ARTHUR
The Better to See You With, My Dear
This apocalypse is more boring
than Hollywood had prepared me for.
Yes, I’m scared, but constant worry
gets tiresome in its own way.
Part of the end
of the world is watching people claim
there comes a time when we should
let happen
the things that are going to happen.
I want to mess with the space
time continuum, I want to shout,
But what if it doesn’t have to! and
fuck with the future just because.
Just because I don’t want to go out
in this horrifying slow-burning blaze.
Let me die normally or not at all.
