Today

Today was a day that could stop the sun
Dead in its tracks, putting the damn thing out
Like licking your fingers and
Pinching a match

Today was a day that would kill a crowd
Some mob of gawkers gathered around
Drowned by their laughter
By its own ignorant sound

Today should have been the end of all days
Some loveless lonely sky, open up through the haze
A plane crash miles wide, taking everything
In its wake.
