Ice Rock Cometh

Behold & beware…
green comet
sails through
cadaverous darkness
on its journey through
Sol’s neighborhood

Gaia’s parasites
blink at
the luminous
icy rock
   (they are
   pummeled by
   shocking storms
   & plagued with
   stormy delusions)

It’s official:
humankind is
on the glowing rocks
  (obviously a major malfunction)
dodging more shoes
 dropping like conspiring flies
   out of a corrosive sky
caught between interstellar cigars
& hard places
   as the gods play dice
   with entangled eons

Aargh & Yikes!
rumbles a horrified poet
seeking & evading
The Good, The Bad &
  The Ultimate
in celestial entrails
  within fields of nightmares
blindsided by
diseased deities
  bearing apocalyptic gifts
blinded by
tormenting tardigrades
   waiting for the last laugh

Indeed
it is exhausting
to escape event horizons
& evade Martian ironists
posing as poisoned
dust devils
  howling coldly
  growling boldy
  Where No Pen has Gone Before
