A huge asteroid is coming to kill everyone

nickel
ice and rocky
hurtling 'cross the galaxy

heavy
millions of tons
near a quarter the size of the sun

draw ever closer, draw ever closer

crossing
orbital intersection
unchanged projection leading to explosion

dust thrown
vapor always trailing
mass attracted to mass accelerating what's impending

coming in closer, coming in closer

humans
dotting a planet
outbreaking panic, but what could prevent it?"

play; work
busy little lives
realize they're ticking down just in time

even nearer still closer

tangent
breaches the atmosphere
faces
horror is everywhere
scramble
hoping to say their goodbyes

husbands
comforting sobbing wives
miles away
from the end of life
mothers
rushing to cover children's eyes

doom's upon all!
no escape
none.
wind howls through our new haircuts
the water rushes 'round
heaven knows there's not one thing left to say

    Do you think of this possibility very often? :)
