Would I dare believe they would contemplate

this cul de sac once more?

That I would be looking over my shoulder and listening on edge

for the sound of an alarm

and fear the general panic

of a population gripped in ice stone terror

and wondering just who

they would protect and survive.

 

Of course the idea the propagated

of hiding under doors is absurd,

it was only a practical way of burying the dead

and now they want us to learn D.I.Y. again
