Say Bear, what are your plans when the apocalypse arrives.
Mick, 
I just spent the last 40 minutes, 
while listening to my son 
slowly teach himself Toxicity 
on my Alvarez, trying to come 
up with an earnest reply to your question:
 
I went the absurdity rout...
then the straightforward route 
that included an ocean swim 
with my best gal...& a ravenous 
& pokerfaced tiger shark on the hunt ~~
to distract th’ fck our of us from the sobering 
rue culmination of mankind’s...superstitious 
& moneyed foibles; ...followed fittingly by 
a more cynical & somewhat metaphorical 
route    ...but...then...nothing rang true.
 
[mankind, born of womankind, & the self-worth jump for that big ticket item]
 
I suppose I haven’t given any thought to plans of Armageddon.  
I’ve been called a hopeful fool, bro.  Fool  for short.  
Y’get right down to it:  If I live long enough 
to see my grandchildren flourish
 in an enlightened new Renaissance 
of earth & humanity that we create in our own 
(obscured until just-in-the-nick-of-time) best images, 
...then I too will know grace...like the Moral Market Majority thinks they know grace.
~~+~~=~~~~~~~~
...but if there iz a moment to look around, 
I'd raise a glass too:  To the notion that in the end 
there’ll be memories.........ascendance to some benign light,
or another slice-off of enlightenment saught
would be a bonus ..............................................
...To take the love with me [us; each of] would be a blessing....

[ellipsis]  

...or just a good fckn thought and a clink of glass on glass
& a liberal toss down before the blast....
