When It Comes

When It Comes
will you be ready for a flash flood
as sea levels rise, landmarks left behind
will you be ready for the inevitable, unacceptable.
earth continues to turn moving time
everything that blooms will catch the bullet
just when you become uncluttered and clear
seems so unfair to disappear
into the salt of nothingness
it happens when you're not looking
will I be ready?
there, I've said it
