Hey that post-apocalyptic show is on again
the one we watched live seven years ago
and immediately became a tradition
wish I could say its mise-en-scène
did not so accurately reflect reality
as lived in the extra-theatrical world
some are trying to memory hole
the pandemic the show seemed to anticipate
what with the high definition spittle
and vague sense the world as we know it
had disintegrated some years in the past
seven approximately would be appropriate
little did we know the first term served
as but a preamble to unconstitutional acts
extrajudicial rendition now just a fact
surely we can’t have thought the center
would hold back then? All that seems certain
now is that if we are to be saved the savior
will be aloof and messy as blood and body sung
