Apocryphal Notes From After The Apocalypse

I don't remember much from my childhood,

it was then when everything happened.

They say it all changed

and I can see that-

but maybe it needed to change.

No one ever talks about that.

Things are more difficult now

but difficult in a way our ancestors

centuries ago would recognize.

All the usual worries are still here

but we got along

as well as we ever have.

There is silence in the ruins,

we have no need

to immortalize the mistakes,

we know well.

My skin is dark from the sun

but there is no other way

I would have it.
