Poem #22: This is the Way

Hollywood always imagines we'd know about it
because to be honest it's more dramatic that way.
But I like to think that we'd be doing what we've always done --
picking a good wine for the salmon with lemon sauce,
lying on the rooftop with a best friend, looking at the stars,
making love with the lights on so you can see each other.
Then, suddenly,
there's a flash
and a rumble
and then nothing is ever the same again.
