the asteroid came
unexpected unheralded unprophesied -
it didn't think, it didn't have theology
it put a hole through the earth
it implied: *"I'm in a hurry;
not going anywhere in particular though
and all of you making all those plans
you got all those birthdays
and your Grand Days
and New Year's Eve to celebrate -
you can go, you're just dust"*
and it waved goodbye with its tails as it left
*"goodbye, spoilt brats -
you can go, you're each just dust"*
