a beautiful spring morning, as they say
“global-north privilege”(?) = we make the weather that happens somewhere else here: yesterday: hi: 78 norm: 73 lo: 47 norm: 49 not bad, lawrence! meanwhile hurricane fani – far fewer dead than 20 yrs ago – 39 in india, bangladesh (so far), 10,000 back then but how do you evacuate 2.8 million people from “hundreds of densely populated, low-lying communities along the Bay of Bengal, one of the most vulnerable regions to flooding in the world”? what do w/100s of 1000s homeless families? I know I promise no animals, but this is too perfect: “UN warns that 1 million species risk extinction because of humans and nature is declining faster than ever” – picture of beach strewn with flattened seal carcasses – this after an ad for a deck stain and sealant featuring cute cartoon elephant squirting water onto deck and man – and then a cartoon seal – I did not make this up and the birds go about their business as usual * * * Sources: Guardian disaster news page Weather Channel news page

I'm a writer & teacher in Lawrence, Kansas who actually believes the scientists. I wrote a book of poems called Of Some Sky that seems to have something to do with all this. |
