Everyone's trying to be poetic and it scares me

What if everyone becomes poets?

What if everyone becomes a poet?

Too many people are starting to think

How I think

And it scares me

It's a depressing circumstance and I don't want that

To continue

I contemplate the certainty that the sun will one day crush me

And

It will, certainly

As will the raging ball of fire inside of the earth

Will that crush me too?

Everyone's trying to make danger poetic

and poetry is drawing me in

So, what if everyone becomes poets?

What if everyone becomes a poet?
