I heard talk
that Apple’s ear buds
are set to burst
simultaneously
with enough force
to cause
dismemberment
or decapitation.

This will take place
when earthly violence
overmatches kindness
and some cloud algorithm
initiates Rapture
regardless of diverse faiths.

No matter
if this is truth
or internet rumor
the weather
will continue
to mystify
the forecasters
espousing national
and international
models.
