Humming Precariously

The machine makes noises.
It’s working. The power
Is on. The nearby systems

Are working. The global
Systems have not collapsed.
Everyone likes to think

About the collapse. At
What hour will it happen? At
Least it feels like that. At

Some point the machine stops.
It’s just pausing. It’s not
Broken. Ask the neighbors.

You don’t know what to do.
You would like to sit still
And not think of people.
