“truth is
not truth,” said rudy giuliani. that explains it: why i’m not quitting the job, heading for the hills, or devoting full-time to organizing this very instant, when smoke covers 2.7 m sq. mi. in russia & 1.2 m in amazonia, when 1 m people flooded out in india (kerala highest all-time rainfall); when u.n. world food prog. sez 1.4 m central americans need food aid: “coping strategies: first internal migration – they go to the cities. but when these are exhausted, they migrate externally” (“puro piedra,” said the guy at the migrant shelter, meaning the farm back home): diseases killing not just people but coffee & now bananas & hence incomes, when calif. & u.s. s.w. feels hi temps > 100 f, when colo. & ks. both record record monster hailstones (softball-size, from the look of them), when > 10k japanese people hospitalized for heatstroke for second week in a row, when water-cooled nuke power plants can’t get cool water? truth is not truth if i say it is or isn’t, so i do what feels good, which is what we all tend to do; so we mind our own business, defined as our own minds tell us to.

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. |
