Collections Of Ghosts

A day may come
when the earth will burst
into a cluster of smaller globes

and we’ll all be relegated
to one or another
collection of ghosts
randomly flung
to one or another
of those ragged stones.

It would be good to think
that should it happen
we will at last
get past the old wars
and prejudices.  Certainly
the sorting,
assuredly the mass dying
would clear our heads.

It’s possible, though,
that on the day
it happens we’ll just start over,

continuing to pass
through each other
with no impact,
much as we pass though
today.
