Copulation Explosion

an intentionally misheard phrase. I gotta stop intentionally mishearing/misreading things.


hot sweat and hot breath
on hot bodies
on a hot night
on the hot asphalt of the sun-baked streets
they writhe
writhe up and sing
is it something in the water?
is it something in the air?
is it nothing in particular,
that's making this happen everywhere?
perhaps an instinctual response
to the knowledge that the earth
is damaged beyond hope
and so why not fuck it all
I mean literally, all.
cause there ain't nuthin' left to lose
'cept bodily fluids
and yourself in the moment.
it's a copulation explosion
before the world ends
like it's 1999
let's go out with a bang!
and in the morning
the world wakes up
and everyone re-attires
and goes back to work
and no one looks anyone else in the eye
cause it turns out, oops,
those calculating made an error
and doomsday is actually
this time next year.
