We're All Dinosaurs

My love

When the dust cleared

The sky no longer opaque

After a global light switch

Had simply shut off

The world changed

Today, the How is still argued

Cosmic? Seismic? Biologic?

All the above?

All at once?

"What's that? A bone? And here

See, a footprint in limestone."

La Brea Post Office
 

Dear Sirs:
 

It has come to my attention

your recent shipment of leafy greens

was much too sandy [stop]
 

Please rectify as you otherwise
have an excellent product [stop]

 

Looking forward to my annual

visit to La Brea [stop]

[blah blah blah

. . . munch munch munch]

Sincerely yours

J.R. Thunderlizard

My love

The world has changed

And it has not

It changed when you were born

It changed again when I met you

Light switches left & right went 

On & off

Off & on
Yesterday today tomorrow

And see, here

A birthday history is imbedded

The handprint in stone is yours
