Last Summer

Is this the last summer in the history of the world?

Crows get lost in the wind

Land on cars on cars and perch

Like onyx hood ornaments

Is this the last summer in the history of the world?

Children lose their minds

Walk into churches schools supermarkets

Say nobody is safe as long as I am alive

Is this the last summer in the history of the world?

Wind arrives to lift winged insects

Finds nothing - dust old dominoes

packing peanuts a sippy cup

Is this the last summer in the history of the world?

"Why did you do it, Zechie?"

"I left seven stones down in the lithium mine

In seven lands in seven times"

Is this the last summer in the history of the world?

Men are growing more violent more insane

They tote piles of radiation in wheelbarrows

And dump them down our throats

Is this the last summer in the history of the world?

Every beast we've stolen from & terrorized

Kneels screaming on our chest during sleep

We hear only faint static & crackles

Is this the last summer in the history of the world?
