it's lonely here in the future


I came early

like a party-goer who allowed

for congested traffic and wound up

hours before the appointed time


and now my flowers wither

waiting for the host and hostess

to show up at their own affair

and welcome the other guests


I think I'll kill some time

watching the grounds keepers

as they spruce up this apocalypse
