undercurrent buzz is surfacing
we're too afraid of a jinx,
so not a soul will speak it,
yet.

we are brinking the first
r.e.v.o.l.u.t.i.o.n, i say,
of our lifetimes.

breathe it in
look around
remember this pre-better life

smile, knowing that
our world was out of control
infested with greedy germs
hatred pests
intolerant idiots.

remember what it was like,
so our children won't have to know.
