ha
once in a year is more like it

wildfires are the first ones to come to mind now
burning out the west
filling our lungs with ash and smoke

then the extended, unofficial wars
then world-changing terror
then global collapse

- again? really? you all couldn't keep a world together for ten years? -

then the floods
every autumn
creeping closer and closer to the last record

then the systems we rely on
we need
in order to function
in order to be responsible and influential people
in order to take care of what is ours

and it all falls apart again eventually
I get that

but so soon?

you could do better, o high and mighty leadership
we could all do better

and while I can't do much
I can still write
I can still feel
I can still think

and that will have to be enough
for now
