a sudden influx
of super and
secondary moons
ancient comets
and the coming of
autumnal cooling
leads a fool to
believe maybe
things aren’t so
fucking terrible
for a little bit
as long as you
ignore the news
and all the signs
things have never
more fucked up

small victories
silver linings
and whatever else
is necessary to
make it though
yet another day
dip your toes into
delusion and watch
it all burn away
