we creep around this colony
you call a city
self imposed speed limits for safety

I'm tired of pushing buttons. and then he saw the image of a car burned into the wall of the interstate as he drove HOME. There were no looting parties. Just people driving to PLACES. He saw the end of the world, announced on the news like a new bird flu or high gas prices. He was apparently the only one that had seen this broadcast, or at least heard it, because everyone just laughed if he asked about it. He tried to warn his family, tried to get his Father to listen but his father had been waiting for it as long as their was memory of him. He called work to tell them he wouldnt be making it. Why did I call? All the plans for a last day that was never supposed to come and he just layed in bed, staring at the ceiling. Like those episodes when EVENTS were not attended because the sickness would drain him of all the will he ever had. But this time there was no all-the-time-in-the-world justification to grasp to. And it's strange the things a man thinks about when in such a dire situation. Sympathy for the only people who would live, sympathy for the ASTRONAUTS, watching it end, watching their empty seats at the last table they should have ever eaten at. Only the static of the void on the radio for company, that and the sound of arrogance and hope leaving their lungs to never return.
