Less Than a Letter

i start to hear
the nervous
tapping of
rain fingers
on the roof
above me

thinking
the world
must be
stressed
to cause
such a

thing but then
the ozone has
a hole in its 
head and
not self
inflicted

no one believes
in climate change
and mistakingly
names it global
warmer so don't
bother or worry

but here it is
february and
instead of
soft whispers
of wind blown
snow the rapidity

of the rain's
fingers are 
banging on 
my roof's
typewriter
typing 

a suicide
note
