oh, my, I can see how you are feeling so well with this one. Echoing my own concerns and fears! The way you wrote it tersely and in short phrases lends a swiftness to the sense of impending doom. We all need a miracle! Luv, Andrea

Mayhem for sure, Phyllis! I really like the quick meter of this thought-provoking write. Two words per line -- a subject and a verb each. Quite a remarkable free verse style you have developed here. Bravo! Love, Carolyn
