The Ghost Rush

All is not lost.  We are
not all ghosts, even as
the world burns.  I hurt
or heard something I did
not explode or experience.
I meant this, but that was
a minute ago.  Now I sit
parched upon a scorched
blunder.  Under what used
to be trees or stars.  Aw,
heck, I lost my invitation
to the party.  I wipe my
bleary eyes and hunch
into a crooked scrunch
to ponder over theories,
remembering first the
bust of the boom.
How high we rode
each arc until how
fun we fell like
rollercoasters.
