it’s been 10-20 f > norm
around these parts this week; & in the mekong delta, floodwaters inundate 33k homes; & half of s. sudan is underwater; & a typhoon scours japan’s east coast; & a yr.’s worth of rain fell in a wk., falling on already-flooded land in yucatán; & a record 10th named storm hits u.s.; & it inundates already-flooded land in louisiana, blue tarps for roofs; & it wipes small towns off the map entirely; & the paraguay river’s level drops 1 ½” / day, costing $250m in trade; & slash-and-burn is burning s. america, choking cities, carbonizing animals; & fires rage in heatwave in middle-east, setting off landmines; & dogs break into a bank for the a/c in overheated s.e. brazil; & just as the fires come under control, calif.'s stuck in endless hot, dry weather; & the bay area broke the record already for bad-air alerts in one year; all of which makes me thankful for all the things that aren’t happening around these parts this week.

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. |
