update
Have no fear, I have much more to say. Now that things have settled down a little bit, I have started back to work on my graduate degree. Time is tight, but I hope to have a new post out soon.

Variation on a Theme
Two sleepers
Wake up
To find
Their world
In ashes
The first,
Surveying the earth,
Lays down
And waits to die
The second,
Surveying the sky,
Finds beauty
In the ashes,
And weeping,
Finds beauty
In the tears
Both now
Beneath the skin,
There are only enough
Twinkies
For one
Author's note: I have had a question or two about the Twinkie reference. There is an old joke that claims that Twinkies will survive a nuclear apocalypse.
