Last night in bed my acrostic subconscious tossed me the fact that Fini can mean “The End” and “Shed” can mean “Get rid of” and together they spell FINISHED. I then went to restless sleep. Up at 6am, I drew FINI on one side of the page and SHED on the other. Then I looked at the YouTube of the first hydrogen bomb testing, which was sixty years and two months ago, and scanned the YouTube comments, wishing I could read Arabic. Clicked the “Show more” and read “The new truly scary one is the thermobaric weapon. Could flatten a 400 mile radius.”

Some old Jackson Browne lyrics came to mind, from his “The Road and the Sky”:

Now can you see those dark clouds gathering up ahead?
They’re going to wash this planet clean like the Bible said
Now you can hold on steady and try to be ready
But everybody’s gonna get wet
Don’t think it won’t happen just because it hasn’t happened yet.

Then I FiniShed my page.
