Don’t Think I Can Make It

Sinkholes eat people for lunch.

Tornadoes swirl in February.

My husband went for ice cream,

and I haven’t seen him

in ten years.

My neighbor pounds

“The World Is Ending”

sign into my front lawn.

These are odd times.

I’d better cancel

my dentist appointment

until my husband

brings back the car.
