First Seattle, then the World

by badweatherfriend

One thing they overlooked was time zones.
Forget the squabbles over skin tones,
hair length, gender--what is God in? Mountain
or Pacific time? Or something else? Assuming Jesus,
in his second coming, would begin with the Americas,
working round to civilization's cradle,
He, like all great trends, would hit the east coast first.
Or be everywhere at once. Whatever
repercussions of apocalyptic doom are to befall,
they'll get it first. By midnight in the capitol,
we may just be prepared for Judgement Day,
may have developed anti-horseman missiles, stopped
the clock ticking in Times Square, all dug a hole
in our back yards deep enough for just ourselves
and our one can of beans. There will be no rush
on cash machines. No stockpiling of gasoline.
We're holding out for Daylight Saving's Time.
Thus, it is said, ye will not know the hour.
