Two Degrees (That Post Apocalyptic Song)
©Jerry Axson

I heard you played last night at some local talent show,
dressed to impress in button leather shoes,
your long hair swept across the face of your Fender Strat,
you call it perfect pop but I call it the blues,
I left a friend request on your social media page,
looking back it was a pretty dumb thing to do,
a finite blade cuts between the cyber and the flesh,
one hundred million miles between me and you

And the world slips off axis by two degrees -
everything slides from right to left,
but I’m doing my very best…
Hey!…out here in the dark…

I’m willing to bet they find etchings of you on buried cavern walls -
many years from now - long after the blast,
your long hair sweeping across the face of some Fender Strat,
it never got too old - it just could not last,

And the world slips off axis by two degrees -
everything slides from the left to the right,
I’ll have one last cherry slushy complete with cranial freeze,
just give us a kiss and let’s say goodnight…

And I will testify -
that two degrees -
might as well be one hundred million miles -
