Can you miss a nuclear explosion?
I know, it sounds rediculous.
But just think.
What if, at the moment of deployment,
You blink.
For an instant.
Just once.
At the exact moment.
Do you miss it?
It is possible for you to just...
Skip over it.
The blink of your eye takes you to the other side.
From a street with buildings freshly painted and standing strong,
To ruin and destruction,
Without actually putting you in the action.
Well,
I think it must be.
Because how else could all of this stuff happen?
How else could one go from flying high
To sinking under?
I just don't understand it.
I didn't see that moment.
I missed the last straw on the cammels back,
The tipping point.
I missed the fire,
And somehow was left burried in ashes.
I know something happened.
Some catastrophic disaster that caused irreversable damage,
But I don;t know what that disaster was.
I can't find the key that broke the lock.
And what good is that?
If you're going to live through hell,
You want to remember the sight, right?
If you have to be permanently damaged,
Defective,
and out of sync,
You at the very least,
Want something to hold on to.
Some image of terror,
That reminds you of why.
I don't know why.
All I am sure of is what is.
