Earth Day


America's Environmental Holy Day

is hard to celebrate 

with all that talking about                                                                 


sacrifices

hardships

looming catastrophes 


as climate tightens the geologic belt

as eons telescope into lifetimes

as whole blackboards of dark matter


disappear into Einstein's equations

only to reappear

in the lyrics of world music


those multimicroverses of dark energy

that morph us into the

there & now

 

moving us faster & smaller & tighter

so that centuries, millennia, periods

contract like exploding stars

  1. Mostly, all that talking is fatiguing, so it must be time to follow Sapp's advice.

    1. Hmmm. To climb Little Cone? That was the last advice he had for me.
