it's just people I can't stand."

it's just uppity and/or snooty people I can't stand
I love cooperative humanity--
it's just overly-competitive individuals I can't stand.
Not so distant from,
I...

To speak no more, and yet away it went

hurricaned coastal residents
Displaced by floods,
invasive mold,
voracious rot and rats,
Barren top soil,
failing electrical networks,
drought,
inhumane heat,
decimated forests
Bereft...

A shining light on the hill

Structurally delusional
Always susceptible to its
Achilles heel of...

Each one perfect, one couldn’t fault either,
Their husbands, playing backgammon
Looked up and winked at each other,
Each one betting a fiver!

The Passion With Which I Write

Cause I stay writing

Yet he was not invited to the party;
Very upset at what he could not get;
He went over to the teller to make a bet.

obesity,
disassociation,
Fear of outdoor climate pathologies,
un-walled infestations
alien predators
threats to our own ongoing ecopolitical empowerment
too competitively overwhelming
