i dislike getting older very strongly.

i dislike getting older very strongly.

A Poem by Everett Dulin

extinction day comes,
left with a broken air lock.
the sun bursts,
throwing us into anticlimactic shock.
                   
we brace ourselves and say goodbye.
to the people we were, what defined our life.
as an unbothered moon, forever will
sit idle, its rise turned still.
                  
to be born again, and suffer anew.
no more summers then, just infinite nil.
the gauges useless, something we all knew
in the infinite void, our skin will melt.
                        
we'll be pure for once, stripped from an image
of a being above, we're our own sin
unnatural beauty, about as much
as the debris. we'll fit in.
