a squirrel prepares for the end of the world

A rare example of me rhyming

through the whirl of the world the squirrel

tastes a pearl locked in its jaws and as it crawls

it takes pause at the roar of applause from the skies

and its eyes are cherry / apple / blueberry pies

and it recognizes the cries and flies to its hole

to say its goodbyes as the world fades and dies

while ignoring our whys and our tears and our lies

and the comfortable squirrel chuckles and sighs

in peace amongst a nest of maples and ryes
