US Represented

Mexico City, September 19th, 2017

Buildings collapsing all around me,
my apartment swaying back and forth at weird angles,
and when the earth stops shaking,
we all bear witness to a city in chaos
no power, natural gas, or phone service,
everything closed, traffic jammed,
emergency crews, sirens, cops
and soldiers everywhere.
Flights are coming and going,
and I have one booked,
but there is no guarantee
that I will escape by Friday.

Spread the love
