Judgment Day

 ...or maybe I should call it "Power Outage"

On the day the world ended
it rained torrents and the wind
blew out the wires;
we had no power
and batteries ran low
(and Pepco apologized
and promised to do better)
and no one knew
that the world had ended
because we had no phones
or laptops or iPads
to stream the news
and we’d forgotten
how to communicate
otherwise.

This is the way the world ends,
this is the way the world ends:
not with a bang:

nor even a twitter..
