the wet:
as in, really wet -- torrential downpours, in fact: s. china (2.24 m evac’d); s. japan (70 dead); plus nepal (40 dead); bangladesh (100s of 1000s marooned); n.e. india (44 dead, 21k uprooted) meanwhile, the dry: 170k people live in refugee camps in s.w. algeria, where, last tuesday, the mercury popped up to 123 f . . . if that’s not our uninhabitable earth, it’s pretty darn close; meanwhile, phoenix, arizona fits itself out with more shade & water to keep people from dying of heat; & the smoke from siberia drifts over w. coast of u.s., while forests still burn in ukraine; lake michigan surface water hottest ever for july; las cruces, new mexico wilts under record temps for over a week (up to 107 f); that’s not the half of it, of course; and the second half may be hotter still . . .

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. |
