Absences

Roosevelt Island is gone.
Queens is gone.
Brooklyn,
the Bronx,
all have disappeared.
As far as the eye can see
there is nothing.

The world is getting smaller.
Existence is fading
in the strangest ways.
From sea to shining sea
all there is
is you and me.
There is nothing else.
We are alone
but
we are together.

I can think of no one better
with whom to spend the apocalypse.
Still
holy fuck
Roosevelt Island is gone!
