Polite And Focused

"You know what 
the oddest thing is 
about all this? 

"We're not constantly fighting, 
having nervous breakdowns, 
screaming at each other. 

"We're 
actually really 
polite and focused..." 

So says Alan 
In an anecdote 
While in analysis 
Of Man's antecedent 
For upcoming Apocalypse 
That's quickly approaching 
& encroaching on their affect 
Yet, having no effect on attitude 
Of gratitude, thus facing at attention 
'Til the end previously mentioned – awaiting 
Fate's date – racing like heart rate at Awakening
