Fin

mother earth crawls
with parasites
sucking her dry
'they don't know any better'
last straw too much get out- 
but it's cold- don't forget
your sweater. about time,

withered, we wept our souls
out, into the sky) too
late to learn how to fly
how to die with style- just
a little while, we'll stand &
form a single file, sudden
flicked domino effect, one
two three go-
