All the water mains burst
Forth, singing
The rats ran
Everywhere, squealing in
Rhyme, and the cockroaches
Tweeted to their neighbors while
Heaven turned itself into Hell on
Earth. From where the sky had been
Each star bored into the ground like an
X-ray so that the
Ploughed fields were pockmarked with
Lozenges of lead, none could smell the
Ozone that sparked from electrical
Systems gone haywire, while
In the meantime, the purple pot stood
On the window sill, holding the
Nasturtiums.
