So There I Was...


After the World
by M.R. Brown

Think fast. React with grace.

Pushing tricycles in the sand under a red moon. And I'm stalled, oddly.

Bricks are piled on pavement.
Bricks are laden with cracks.
Bricks will build a shelter.

Starshine.

The 20th century. In manuscript form.

Farther past this stream is the ice of lore.
Where glass no longer shatters/
And pages no longer spell out words.

All the world is a muck-colored green.
