\u201cYour generation would probably \u2018livetweet\u2019 the apocalypse\u201d you say, and you laugh
\nYou mean it as an insult, and I understand,
\nOr you don\u2019t
\nbecause the word lies awkwardly on you tongue, stumbles as it leaves your lips, air quotes visible
\nYou meant it as an insult, so you don\u2019t understand, when I look into your eyes and say \u201cYes\u201d
\nBecause we would.
\nIt would be our duty, as citizens on this earth
\nto document it\u2019s end the best way we know
\nand if that means a second by second update
\nof the world going up in flames, or down in rain, or crushed under the feet of invading monsters
\nso be it.
\nIt would mean a second by second update of
\n\u201cI love you\u201d
\n\u201cI\u2019m scared\u201d
\n\u201cAre you all right?\u201d
\n\u201cStay close\u201d
\n\u201cBe brave\u201d
\nIt would mean a second by second update of the humanity\u2019s connection with one another,
\nProof of empathy, love, and friendship between people who may have never met in the flesh.
\nSo don\u2019t throw the word \u2018Livetweet\u2019 at me like a dagger, meant to tear at my \u2018teenage superiority\u2019
\nBecause if the citizens of Pompeii, before they were consumed by fire,
\nhad a chance to tell their friends and family throughout Rome
\n\u201cI love you\u201d
\n\u201cI\u2019m scared\u201d
\n\u201cDon\u2019t forget me\u201d
\nDon\u2019t you think they\u2019d have taken the chance?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
