i always wonder what the end of the world is going to be like.
i grew up in a religious household and heard its the last days every other sentence.
so will it be fire stones from the heavens fall upon us?
will all the ones going to heaven be encased in a protective bubble?
will we battle zombies until we eventually turn into one?
or will the ground open up and swallow us whole?
that last one was how i felt yesterday in new yawk.
new yawk was hit with a 4.8 earthquake and i was out in these forests…

In the damn barber’s chair!

i had on my airpods and was listening to janet’s greatest hits on noise cancellation.
suddenly,
i felt this rumbling that i thought was loud music in the shop.
the tv was on but i thought they turned on music that was loud enough to vibrate.
as the rumbling got louder and my chair started shaking…

I see everyone stop what they’re doing including my barber.

all of a sudden as i’m lightly moving,
i’m seeing the shit rattling on his table.
at this point,
i’m frozen.

I applaud folks who can whip out their phones and start recording.

the shaking lasted what felt like 15 seconds.
once it was done,
everyone had the sweat drop tear drop in their heads like in anime.

i ain’t even hold you but it scared TF outta me.
when they had that after shock hours later,
it really had me panicked.
even today,
i’m bracing myself for another earthquake to hit.

New Yawk ain’t built for no earthquakes.

not with all these high rises.
people i know who were high up at work said their buildings shook.
it was scary times.

Sidebar: I wonder if the people having sex thought the shaking was them?

i thought yesterday was the end like the boomers would say.
the conspiracy folks are saying the solar eclipse on monday has something to do with it.

4/8 Solar Eclipse
4.8 earthquake

are we about to have some “i am legend” shit go down?
ugh.

lowkey: the other night,
we had a bad storm and they caught this shot…

powers activated.
