Another Sign Of The Apocalypse

Another sign of the apocalypse

was first thing crossed my mind.

“We’d like you to speak

at The County Library,

branch out by the Interstate.

We think you’ll draw a crowd.”

A piece of old meat

can draw a crowd.

A blinking sign,

the bottom end of a rainbow.

Let me tell you something,

a guy like me?

Nobody shows up.

But that’s okay.

Already promised my wife,

I’d take her to Waffle House.
