I love cooperative humanity--
it's just overly-competitive individuals I can't stand.
Not so distant from,

invasive mold,
voracious rot and rats,
Barren top soil,
failing electrical networks,
drought,
inhumane heat,
decimated forests
Bereft...

A Canadian's Letter To Americans: a Thousand Points of Light

To commit to the mental torment
So trying to balance
Very precariously
Whilst throwing tiny weights
Onto the wrong side of the scale
So existing forever in extreme stress

over-commitment to inside claustrophobic voices,
failing deep-rooted immune systems,
obesity,
disassociation,
Fear of outdoor climate pathologies,
un-walled infestations
alien predators
