"When All the Lights Go Out"

I just wrote this, half asleep, at midnight. I don’t know if it’s good or not. This is the stuff I think about all the time… 

When all the phones die

We speak to each other again 

When all the cars break down

We’ll learn to walk again 

When all the screens go black

We inherit the Earth again 

When all the planes are grounded

We’ll begin to fly again 

When all the lights go out

We’ll see the stars again 

When all the music stops

We’ll hear the angels sing 

Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels

I hit myself in the head today with my car keys (please don’t ask). I said to my Guardian Angel, “Why did you let that happen? What, you’re off today because IT’S YOUR FEAST? Well, isn’t that special. All you guys are up there having some big party, leaving us poor slobs down here to fend for ourselves. Thanks a lot!”

Then I went out driving. On Long Island. I said, “Shove that strawberry cupcake in your mouth and GET BACK DOWN HERE NOW!”

I got back home in one piece, so I guess the party’s over:)

sancti Angeli custodes, orate pro nobis!
