Another Little Boy
September 15, 1991

life is darker
than what I used to know
you know -
the stars no longer shine
and chaos starts all over
no more sunny days
today or tomorrow
a longer stretch of blackness
heading onwards
can you tell me one last thing?
where did the sun go -
what happened when night was down upon us?
what was the reason
for the pain that reached my mind
can you tell me did I do it
or was it you that had to go
to tell the people
our world's safe no more
and all of the answers
are curling on the flames
from the inferno
dreams like paper turned to dust
to dust I fall
out into chaos -

I looked out at the winter morning
secure in my position
that life was going well -
when suddenly blinded
a flash seared through my soul
in a world of snowflakes
steaming under an atomic sun -
I heard the rivers boil
Thames and Hudson burning
loud as the end did come
before I floated of into silence
down by the ocean
where nothing lives today
floating
floating
floating
out into chaos -

out there in the shadows
a few last people vie
trying to put it all together
long enough to say they survived -
fighting wasting illness
skin that smears like vaseline
the say that god was angry
"what did we not do," they cry
out into nothing
and nothing is the sky but black
for only waste remains -
no answer -
and the tattered lives of the many
caught up in the hurricane
still keen
like lost souls how the seem to be
fighting decay that pulls them down
only to loose out as the step out
out into chaos -
