It Still Moves

IT STILL MOVES the earth complains of heartburn in California ulcers in Iraq chicken pox in Afghanistan sneezes and wheezes hurricanes in Atlantic acid reflux somewhere in Mexico it has chills at the poles fever at the equator sweats at the tropics shakes all over in Japan severe dry skin in Sahara and Gobi vomits monsoon rains in India its cells are dying in the Dead Sea it foams at the Yellow River in Venice it has a sunken feeling some scars still hurt in Hiroshima you’d think that the earth suffers – it just lives the way it knows and everything is normal as it was a hundred years ago or a thousand or a million if it complains it’s just to grab our attention the earth was a show off from the beginning – it put itself together with a Big Bang
