I watch movies
About the end of the world
And I think how scary it would be.
I see tides rise
And comets fall
Seas boil and mountains crumble
Viruses plaguing the Earth
Flesh eating monsters
Alien invasions and explosions
Supernatural evils with
Spiky, wicked tentacles
Frost creeping like sinister mist
People running and screaming and hiding
Car crashes and falling planes
Derailed high speed trains
Sinking ships on tossing ocean waves
Zombies lurking in dark corners
A burnt out pit of a sun blinking in the sky
Like a candle about to go out
Mania and hysteria and panic and fear
And none of that
None of it
None
Is as goddamn terrifying
As those old white men
Telling me
Me
What I cannot do
With my own
Stinking
Meat suit.
