The Flags of Our Dispositions

Some talk again
about the end
of this world
but yr rapture
might not be
his rapture &
maybe he’ll be
happy as hops
to see you go.

Kneel, stand, or
dodge the show
weekend TV
questions for
the status quo
diversion plays
reductio ad absurdum
the flags of our
dispositions.

More disposed
to please or dis
now a word
from the sponsor
who decides
penultimately
what is ok
& what
unacceptable.

The crickets’
crackles
diminish
lights off but
sounds off
continue
the broadcast
day now
infinite.
