hate to say it
folks hate worse
to see it my snowdrops blooming
by the step not that
it doesn’t give
heart lift but with a wrench since
it’s
newyears day probably daffodils
midmonth robert frost debates
fire and ice favors fire those studies
by global experts
forget the bushie
brownnosers agree give us a window eleven years to halt or reverse the
warming before
catastrophe permafrost melted acid ocean bangladesh drowned atolls already gone but what do we
care about them
manhattan next
though and with polar bears on the roof of the world and penguins at its foot with nowhere to place their
happy feet well
that would be a shame
