Time's End

When hourglasses tick
And dogs fly through the air
When the sky turns green
And fish grow heads of hair.

When apples turn blue
And birds swim in the sea
When the grass becomes purple
And cats scream “I’m finally free!”

We will know something’s wrong.
What is to be our fate?
What can it possibly be?
All we can do is wait.
