If the world were to end tomorrow,

And every good intention

Were suddenly due early.

If today was the day that the

Earth would Stand Still,

And no one would notice our absence.

I’d sneak you away to the country,

I’d take you to a field of flowers and braid half

into your hair and the other half

I would make our marriage bed.

We would consummate

the end of the world the

Way it began:

In love.
