Comics on buses

Gods war above man, beyond men,
in heaven, today I believed in all
time as one time watching the clouds
crawl across the magnificent blue sky
that seemed to stretch on infinitely
full,
hurtling toward us they blanket
our heaving reality, atoms/blah/
molecules/strings/holes torn
in dark matter death cylinders,
a black racer
choosing it victims wisely,
foolishly we host sacrificial
lambs in ancient fires,
turn your back on humanity
it is a vain, arrogant creature,
kneel before the gods
new and unborn,
cruel.

Midnight Release

Came home to the shambling
wreckage of a party that I'd missed
knocking back one beer and then
ignoring everything for Avengers
midnight release screaming THANOS
as the credits scene rolled and I
was rushed back to bright lit
movie theater where Joe'd crossed
the line and enjoyed some popcorn
castaway getting over his drunk and
we tip toed past the bodies sleeping on
the floor and the bodies leaning on tables
wobbling and reeling from beer and shots
and grief and Hulk smashing to pack up and
move out and enjoy the night and the heroes and
the cheers out in the orange mist
