Programmed

You smoke a lot

You never eat

If the end of the world came

we'd just keep

walking.

We're like that see,

trees with roots,

deep under

and as the world

is torn asunder

we'd continue going

while others start slowing

I think

it's the way we're

programmed

remember-

we joked

rain-soaked

as we walked

on for miles-
you said

'If the end of the world came

we'd keep on down this same

muddy lane.'
