Our sun over my left *should* threaten to tinge me if
I pontificate platitudes that fail to connect us to
full stomachs...

A hot car on a fast track

Shifting gears
I burn up the road, turn up the stick

Ever since world's creation
earth's reshaping is of note.
Climate-modified history records
begin about the nineteenth century.
Theories document data revealing
collective effect of change
influence climate patterns.

solar fluctuations, volcanic strength.
Human-induced environmental threats
are minor in the big...

Slay foes of virtue, release thine equals,

They will come in parts as in like sequels,

the winds bring freedom.
Spirits riding the air, never need to rest;

An effervescent stream of dreams assured,

I lament my life so far
and meanwhile Death is gleeful,
riding shotgun in my car.

So I crank up the volume,
speakers thrumming bass guitar,
but Death just seems to dig it,
riding shotgun in my car.

Rising above the destitute land
Barren are the quiet hills now
Echoing terrain's vacant sound
There, where sweet home was.

Tree uprooted quivers gently
Its scattered mangled remains
Swaying aches of forsaken pain
Mourning tranquility's death.

and seek out my anguish, my grief, and misery
making me melancholy and mournful . . .
and it is because of you I pick up a pen
