in time of plague

He came home
early from
the lab
that day

She was
already at
home
picking out
china patterns
and making sure
the invitations
were in
order

She met
him at
the door

"Hi sweetie"
she said as
she kissed
him full
on the
lips

Little did she
know that
a crazed
spider monkey
had blown chunks
on his shoes
earlier that
morning
and that
he was currently
passing her
the Ebola
virus

The entire world's
population was
dead
two weeks
later

Love sucks,
ok?
