earthday poem #3
went to earthday festivities at
union park: encouraging displays
greeny ideas demonstrations
so cold and rainy not many came
the decorated refrigerators caught
my heart they should be a traveling
exhibit green trolls popping out to
sing green limericks thumb noses
at gas guzzlers and get this if you
want a green whole-body burial
you can now be shrouded in jute
and lowered in a wicker casket
you’ll join the earth quite quickly
2013 Jacqueline Jackson
