The Last Handshake

It changes so fast, the world.
And for me it’s now absurd.
Things have got to the point that
I’ve stopped thinking about the fall.
Because, after all, from here, there’s nowhere to go.
And anyway, even in the park the trees are uprooted and gone.
And at times like these, it’s dangerous to go out in the streets.
The road is so wet.
Blood flows in the main artery.
