petty thievery

election cheating

con artistry

scrabbling for any advantage

when the bolide hit the Yucatan

spewing sulfate and hot gas

everyone lost

sure, dinosaurs survived the K-P extinction

but they no longer rule the earth

do mammals think they'll be any different?

God Weather

It begins with the small stuff:

Cupid, demigods, dryads & hamadryads;

Then Hermes, Athena, Aphrodite,

Or some of their ilk,

Hail down brutally into Earth's bread basket.

Even a cherub can leave a mark

(The crater that was Chicago

Was probably made by Thor

Or some other heavy hitter).

But who was it hit the Yucatan 65 mya

And sterilized a good bit of N. Am.?

What rough pantheon

Shuffled off this mortal coil

When our ancestors still looked like

Poorly designed rats?

an ill wind
from the south blew us some good
let's not blow it

put your hand
on the end of the Cretaceous
feel the death
