Ruins
November 24, 2017
The world has expired.
It is impossible that
anyone is worth saving.
Allow the streets to be dirty.
There is no way we can
Clean them.
Use a black marker
So no one can
Go over the lines with white
Everyone is deaf.
It is impractical that
Someone will hear you
Scream.
Everything is gone.
There is no possible way
Humans are still welcome.
(now read it backward)
