the day nothing happened

life went on. do you
remember? that day when
nothing happened,
when everything else
was going down? shit
simmered and water shook,
those passing clouds
dissipated elsewhere,
flocked with birds
from nowhere.
remember? we never
knew. we thought
we lived, motionless,
astray with numbing
thoughts, though hearts
beat. maybe we stopped
believing because nothing
needed believing. did we
understand? it had to
happen. we lost track,
nothing happened and everything
else was going down.
not that it matters now.
we are always.
failed for destiny,
in my hands.
