global worming

the world has no ambition

and for this reason

most people blend in the background

as stones and weeds

you have to climb or cut

ditch them

look to the sun

its goal is to burn the world

alive

do the same

by living in heat

and trying to freeze

the sun if only to save

this hard

lifeless rock

and then

dig something out

of the ditch

like global worming

*

she’s cupping me

like loose leaf tea

and i burn saying

ow ow ow

while she looks ahead

at white breeding white

maybe hoping for something

a bit darker and dirtier

like leather or

the public where

she learned to drink

so well

*

if there’s anything left

to present

it is the ability to decide

what is right

and then

to be cast aside by future generations

for being so short sighted

and not knowing much of anything

really
