The world ends thirteen times consecutively

one heart thirty six and a half years away from scheduled retirement takes early leave
two i’m sorry we can’t see each other anymore
three the sun unexpectedly explodes
four concentrated and constant contamination reduces arable water to flammable sludge
and leaves the summer breeze with the consistency of sandpaper choking the leather
lunged winners of mother nature’s lottery
five methodically destructive aliens take preventive action
six overtaken by centuries of history humanity feels a sense of collective guilt and loses all interest in
reproduction
seven you’re not santa claus
eight a cascade failure of nuclear arms control spirals through the middle east and bursts like
a rotten tomato
nine christ or applicable major religious figure returns to damn the unfaithful
ten oceans boil and mountains burn under the intense encroachment of a red giant
eleven god blinks
twelve friedrich nietzche returns to damn the uninterested
thirteen i take a nap
