A Poem by Donal Mahoney

If We Ever Break Up

Thunder and lightning at first,

as I understand it, 

and then the moon will split

in half and disappear

and the stars will go dark

and the sun will come up

and explode in the sky,

another Hiroshima. 

Hurricanes and tornadoes 

will savage the land.

Sickles and scythes  

will harvest the people,

throw some in the air

shouting Alleluia, 

toss others aside 

 

shrieking and cursing.

Silence will boom

as the credits roll.

Bugs Bunny, the sage, 

will have the last word:

"That's all, folks!"
