• A world without ourselves

My grandparents have a cabin in the woods in Oregon
where you can’t pump your own gas
and the truck stop sells guns and ammo
and bumper stickers that say One Big Ass Mistake America
the Bush/Cheney stickers on the backs of trucks
are as faded as the hippies selling trinkets on the side of the road
for good luck

I visit them every summer
hang out in the garden and I read all day
and we watch more Glenn Beck than any sane human being ever should
and over the crackle of Rush Limbaugh on the car stereo
my grandmother told me
that she’s got a stockpile prepared
for when the shit hits the fan
law and order break down
in the chaos that ensues we will hide in our back country home
with the shutters closed until we die
we will wait the coming storm until we die

for centuries this apocalyptic mindset has convinced
each generation that these are the end times
do we truly believe that society is on the precipice of collapse?
or are we just too nihilistic to imagine a world without ourselves?
