Our Own Age of Reptiles

(our own) age of reptiles

I remember
it was mainly in the Cretaceous period 
of our own age of reptiles
soon to be doomed
by the great collision

we made plans
and thought about things
and things
and so many nice things to do
but they went extinct too soon
lost and not-to-be found again

some of them, though
are being uncovered
from time to time
by the archaeologists of our back door minds
but the only place for them
is the memory museum
where’s always just dust and silence
as we both secretly know
