a dead war veteran warned me several months ago about the taliban taking over afghanistan he let me feel their fear as he slipped through time I saw them in the airport as he tried to comfort them as invisible as me he said it was the beginning of world war 3 he told me to shout it from the rooftops but I didn't want to be that person on the side of the road holding up a piece of cardboard that says it is the end of the world so today I did normal things when nothing is normal anymore I looked at all the discarded masks flung about the Target parking lot and I wondered where my dead war veteran friend was now if he was mad at me for not starting a revolution he told me something else about a train derailing an attack or a take over that is going to happen soon I just keep thinking about those masks laying everywhere trodden with footprints how careless we are with everything we are the human stain upon the earth we look the other way and keep saying everything will be okay maybe death will make us smarter
