Armageddon

There was a misunderstanding.

Some words were exchanged,

Translation errors, perhaps;

And then it happened.

A mistake, I suppose.

 

A pity really, we were doing all right.

A few problems, of course,

But nothing terminal.

Until now.

 

Just before it landed,

The man next door reminded me

That tomorrow is his birthday.

 

Looking out, not much going on;

Christ, will someone start a song!?

 

Quiet now.
