"and the first shall be last"

her first lover.first on the moon.the New World
first footstep.first birth.first mistake.human error.
first train across the prairies.first telegraph/telegram.
first one across the line.first science.first dream.

now we contemplate endings.last dodo.dinosaur,dolphin
last car museum.last white buffalo.last Concorde.last Twin Towers
last oil field.last war for oil.last pure water source.last ice berg.
Last Continent.Last day.Last hour .Last minute to Midnight

Earth shakes,rattles,rolls on axes.We are fleas she forgets
Scratch that itch,Gaia!Ride Fires,Kali!Be Energy,Shakti!
Arrogance of species to believe they were the first-or last
One tiny earth for so many empty mouths

Rocks off on Apocalypse?Armed for Armageddon?
or in Rapture @the very Gift of Life?Giving,given,gone..
