Long Retail Poems

In Colchester, CT,
and possibly in your town too,
we have a LongTerm ReCoVery Committee
looking at 20/20 prevision
for post-pandemic climate health revisions
for wealthy local and global EarthJustice.

So, what have I noticed
that might be economically
and ecologically win/win useful?

It's hard to say where and when our town's People of Faith Cooperative started.

and their...

into year by year forecasts,
no longer this seventh decade

Look at them, tangled in insignificant conversation
about politics or stereotypes of  blacks, whites and Asians,
