Overrun

overrun

guy reading on his cellphone 

while falling off a cliff

with no time to scream 

between thinking about 

how stupid he is 

and reading about two people 

shot in an argument 

about who pushed first while bleeding to death

 

no time to cry 

thinking of their mothers 

who would come to the funeral 

and what would they wear 

about their cousins 

in Afghanistan and what they did 

no time to ask before 

pulling the trigger 

taking these moments 

into infinity  

on a planet overrun 

with human ingenuity
