Rapture Day(the first one)

The Boogaloo plays on the rin-tin, tin-can speakers at my Mexican hang out.   Spinsters smile in sun-glow, while I cower in the shadow, being not buzzed but bothered by some sort of flying ant; floating around the purple flowers on the sill in which I sit. I am waiting for the autumn. The sun has got his mace out. The sun has got his Cat-O-Nine-Tails out, and he is whipping me without a whisper of mercy. I will feel fine when the night falls, when sun becomes moon, when sun kills moon, when the old man dying in his ship with the great fish strapped to the bow dreams about the lions once more and how it is a good thing that man does not have to fight the moon each night. Today is the day they said that the world would end. I am waiting, waiting patient, still, like some great stone Buddha, for the rapture, or the four horsemen or the stargate, the end all of the be all. People around me seem calm. I am calm too.                                                                                                                                 The lizard people are coming!! later we drank and smoked and drank some more; running in the rain and falling off of buildings like nothing had ever happened. ”Just one more step” {thoughts on tomorrows Rapture to be added in the next few days... probably}
