Begin
Wet feather slap side walk percussion
Pools crowd like camp fire hot zones
Sky tints violet at noon
Cable news takes four hours to report the first death
Shut ins double check their triple locks
Riots of uninformed youths steal video games
Sky turns pink at five pm
and the gun fire starts as the first try to flee
The Center for Disease Control makes the final call
Bombs drop on bridge and tunnel
Sky turns red at 9pm
Shelling from the Hudson hits with devastating effect
Three infected float to safety in New Jersey
Board a train west
Sky turns black on the 19th
Last woman alive shoots herself
End
