Director’s Chair

If the sun does not come up tomorrow, I’ll watch the end of the world with you. I’ve got these great deckchairs in mind that we can sit on. You know the ones you see on movie sets? Normally the big star will be conferring with the director and they’ll have their names on the back and the photographer catches them “unawares” for a wonderful behind-the-scenes photograph. I have deckchairs like those. We can even stencil our names on them if you like, I mean, who’s going to shout “Assholes!” if the world’s ending? It wouldn’t be worth looting or taking out huge loans or anything like that. I’d just like for us to sit on the roof of my building (it’s a good view from up there) and we can watch the asteroid streak down from the sky. I’ll take my oh-so-hipster Polaroid camera and whisper something in your ear as I take a shot, just like the old movie stars used to do. I haven’t quite perfected exactly what I’m going to say, but I hope that it’ll be a good enough line that you’ll finally kiss me. I’m just praying right now that the sun does come up tomorrow because I need a little more time…always a little more time, with you.
