25-Endangered Species

And our firefly cities,
blinking lovesongs,
at the satellites.
will one day fall dark.

It could be sudden
like a firefly squashed.
A phosphor smear
soon exhausted.

It could take longer
The ones safe inshore
blinking SOSs for
those already sinking.

But when entropy
hang up it's cloak.
When we are just
a layer in the strata.

Will we decide
to change?
Or have we
already fossilized?
