Radiation Reflection, Day 18

Two days ago, I thought the world might begin ending -
social media threats of ending a civilization.
I wondered if classes would be cancelled the next day -
if bombs would ignite our planet.
Would the Artemis II astronauts witness
destruction from the moon?

I watered backyard plants and fed the dogs,
placed a chlorine tablet in the pool,
acted like the next day would come.

Is that what we’re supposed to do?
