My Carbon Footprint

(“Something From Nothing”, 2024, original encaustic)

My Carbon Footprint

As the rest of the world hurls into the future 
Some of us are just left behind.

This year, this season, this month, this very day
Marks the point of no return 
When AI has surpassed human control 
And the world that we knew is no more.

I ask my wife if she thinks we’ll be the ones who adapt 
And comply and accept a life in the pod,
And she says no,
We won’t survive.

“We are the carbon 
That needs to be reduced.”

(3/4/25)
