Rain Check
Dancing on the brink
of the apocalypse
is postponed today,
due to rain, sleet,
windstorms,
and excessive heat.
It is tentatively
rescheduled for Thursday
of next week,
but might need
to be canceled
until next year, if
conditions don’t improve.
Remember, you’re not
the only one who needs
to make sacrifices:
it’s a big disappointment
for the entire group.
So. keep your place
in line, and find
something to do
to stay busy.
I really like this writing style… it’s simple but has a touch of vague mysterious uniqueness to it. It’s really good.
Thanks–it was inspired by the song “In the Year 2525”–one of the songs on my marathon playlist for today.
On the one hand it could be a cult, on the other hand would we line up and feel disappointed if it didn’t happen. I think you captured the right amount of cognitive dissonance.
I like to think of society as one big cult.
