Nostradamus Sneezed

,
and the world was pleased
to be ending
in a ball of fire, a slash
of apocalyptic rain, be
-ginning again.

There was a holy
-cost, atomic bomb,
earthquake, ground shake;
men would fall.

And he
…….(in apothecary glee) pro
-claimed that he could see
it all.

He poofedthem from the stars,
these deeds of ours,
these battle scars
by land and sea.

A hiccup
was enough
to make the future rough,
to make the present
worry. A cough
would cause a flurry
of fret.

And yet,
he was still fast
to confess ’em.

God bless ’im.

In April we poem. As you might have predicted.
