You Know It's Bad

you know 
it's bad when your 
guardian angel runs

I often wonder
how quiet is it
right before the end

that brief pause
just before
extinction

the universe takes
a double-take
in disbelief, in sadness

but I'm 
drinking wine
in another time

I don't dread
the silences
just the paper seats
