when the apocalypse comes, you need to buy a gun. you need to buy a knife, a big one. you need to buy zombie repellant, and a good book, and love.

some of these you won’t even use, but you can buy them, and you need to.

when the apocalypse comes, you need to buy a car to get around. to get away from whatever has come. you need to buy razor spikes to line the sides, as many as you can.

you need to buy gas, and you need to buy a warranty just in case. you don’t know what the apocalypse will break, so you need to insure it all.

when the apocalypse comes, you need to buy water, a can opener, socks to keep your roots in, a radio to talk to your loneliness, and a flashlight to scare it off

you don’t like the loneliness, but any kind of hole can be filled if you buy the right shape of peg.

when the apocalypse comes, you need to buy comfort. you need to buy a blanket, and a tent, and matches. you need to buy a passport as a reminder that you aren’t one of “them” whoever “they” may be.
