i'm prepared for when the power
goes down.
a flashlight in every room.
extra batteries, candles
set out. matches in little boxes.
jugs of water wait
in the basement.
canned goods.
granola bars and power drinks.
i'm ready for
the next thing. I might last
a day or two, possibly
a week if a bad storm hits
or if worst comes to worst
and some country lobs a hydrogen
bomb across the sea
to wipe us out.
I've been preparing for this
day since the fifth grade
when they told us
to get under our wooden
desks when the sirens blared.
i'm ready now. i'm prepared.
