Sonnet: I Saw Death Falling From the Sky, Ouch
by John Kendall Hawkins
.
It's raining dinosaurs. They're killing us
one by one. Soon we will be some other
species' peak oil problem. Oh, brother,
a balled T-Rex just missed me -- like a bus!
They've fallen everywhere -- minds howling:
werewolves from London or Ginsberg's 'best' list,
no one escapes their wrath: you get the gist:
all body snatchy, blame fingers scowling.
Intergalactics are kicking our ass.
Will Smith never saw the right-cross answer
to his Earth welcome punch. NECROMANCER
writ on its knuckles. Now we're all gas.
Oh, f*ck it all, I'm going back to sleep.
I'm no intellectual, nor very deep.
