Long, long, meticulously planned
busy, busy lists
(OCD traits or trails?)
Ironically
When the clock of disaster strikes at noon
(a thunderous message of utter doom)
amidst missiles, nuclear defense ammunition
and cul-de-sac human corridors
Then… the reality beckons confusingly
“What do I do, when they un-do?”
Bucket lists become dark-skyed fire trails
All planning… shredded scraps
as the power of greed UN-DO
what the perceived innocent DO
