“What have you heard?”
“You know, the usual word:
Assassins and bio-weapons
Proliferating, but nothing
Specific. We’re probably
Safe here for a time.”
“Or half a time, I’m
Inclined to believe.
Even less, perhaps.
Have you seen the size
Of them in the streets
At night, frightening
Joggers and dog-walkers?
How can you say ‘nothing specific’?”
“Nothing specifically new, I meant.
We’ve always heard wolves
Howling not far from here.
It is what we’re used to.
But go out in the sunlight
Tomorrow morning and you’ll see
Peace reigning and time suspended.”
