First Presidential Alert
I got my first Presidential Alert today
Did you
too?
It was alarming
near the middle of the afternoon
to receive this reminder,
He's still President?
Watch out!
As a candidate
he promised us he would do nothing
to improve our weather
and, in fact,
would strongly support Business As Usual
so we could plan on even more severe subclimates
of internal and external pathology--
bilateral climate anxiety
works competitively both ways.
Severe Presidential Alerts
are alarming
but probably necessary acknowledgement
the WhiteHouse denies human contribution
to causing severe climatic harm
and thereby perhaps hopes to avoid expensive global reparations,
responsible repairs
reforesting
un-desertification liabilities,
reinvestments in non-violent health care giving
and receiving with all mattered lives
Now green death shattered by severe climate necessities
of ultra-violet Presidential Alerts
Watch out!
Patriarchal grabbing and transparent extracting,
squeezing and penetrating pain
at Presidential work
against health and love
of future sacred mattered Lives
of Earth herself.
