un-happenstance

when will you happen?

why don’t you happen?

and put us all out of our misery, and

join us together in that dunkirk spirit,

or, go on! fling us to the wilds 

of:

war 

   famine 

    disease 

      drought 

        global warming 

          social dissociation 

            dislocation

               and on and on and on

come on!

get it over with you .. you ... you ....

bloody fool!

you are all around us, 

  behind us, 

    in front of us,

we are waiting for your knife 

so that we can join hands to 

stem the blood, 

  to caress the wounded,

    heal the rift,

      to be that utopia again,

that i am sure we once were;

weren’t we?

 but when will you happen?

why don’t you happen?

why don’t you?

why?
