I'm looking at the sky and wondering about the starlight
The nukes were dropped on our neighbors just two days ago
So I cannot figure out how the sky can be so clear and marvelous
We will be having a moratorium for one month;
It's what everybody has agreed upon after the attack
I thinking about the whales and how they have been affected by the bombs
I doubt my crass and heartless fellow humans have even given it a second thought
I tremble with fear at what I know the outcome for us will be
As if things are not bad enough already
I suffer from Hypertension, and now I have tremors
Which I can no longer control and the prognosis is not good
My brother died from this unspeakable disease
Quivering his way into the earth inside a mahogany box
His was a millionaire but in the end his money did not serve him well
For all his pomposity and condescending behavior I still loved him
My superfluous thoughts are interrupted
By the loudspeaker announcement
They are saying the Mohicans are coming to visit tomorrow
They are credible and always cordial with us
I know they'll be generous with the harvest they made on their farms
They grow tomatoes, potatoes, corn and mushrooms
(Well, actually the cows produce them with their manure)
Those happen to be my favorite
They might even want to play soccer with us and I'll keep score
That is if we can find a place without a lot of ash on it
I think I should head home on my water skis because I am feeling dirty
I would love a nice, hot shower (if we have running water)
I have this pretty yellow party dress I want to wear tomorrow
I want to impress all the Mikes who will be there
Many Mohicans have named their sons Mike and they are always very handsome with dimples
I have to look very pretty tomorrow because time is running out for me
I might even put a magnolia in my hair if I can find one that is still alive
If not there are always the fake ones at home in a vase on my dining room table
They'll work nicely enough
