A Great Flood

Of this I’m uncertain:

will we be forgiven

should there come a great flood

to drown out our decisions?

We were only children,

silly what we did then:

scooping up the tadpoles,

left them on the pavement.

Faultless in our innocence,

charming in our ignorance,

pissing in the reservoir,

didn’t know the difference.

Of this, I’m uncertain:

will we be forgiven

should there come a great flood

to drown out our decisions?
