The Aftermath

I dont even know what happened. I dont know if it was an earthquake or death ray or North Korea or whatever. Neither God nor the provisional IRA claimed responsibility for it. In the wake we kept waiting to be colonised by Martians or Communists. No one came. Its like this everywhere I think. You ever thought about the word rubble its a strange word. Why not just say its a pile of bricks. I think its because it used to be something recognisable. Before when we watched diaster movies the skyscrapers usually survived even if they were underwater or frozen. Not one pyramid not one tower stands theyre dust now like most of the human race. Everything we did to make a mark turned out to be as transient as a footprint in a desert. Go figure.
