americans rebel against laws
of physics & physiology: we won’t let our freedom be limited by so-called “nature” (“c’mon, boys — let’s get it!” “wait — where’d it go?”) maybe nature’s god — maybe ho hum. 4-23 in lawrence, ks.: hi 75 f, norm 69 lo 52, norm 45 (not bad, but in keeping w/this sudden spring); precip month-to-date: 1.86” norm month-to-date: 2.68 hottest year-to-date in 8 florida cities: july weather in april (miami 97f); + gulf coast drought; but wettest y-t-d in 6 tennessee valley cities, which is saying a lot after 2019 (e.g. birmingham, 6” over record: they’ve had 37.43” y.t.d.; we’ve had 8) & another 7 killed, dozens hurt by newest round of southern tornadoes; while cuba’s reservoirs > 50% capacity (biggest at only 11); morocco’s harvest ↓ 42%; limits on grain exports from russia; the dry the dry the dry (& the verse-chronicler must be just as relentless) meanwhiles: poland’s on fire (15k acres) khazakstan’s on fire (2k acres) nederland’s on fire (420 acres) + 4k evac’d; 18 shelters (only 50 each b/c well u know) derbyshire’s on fire (4 sq mi) scotland’s on fire, in parts (think of this as a catalog of sinking ships) ukraine no longer on fire -- and busted reactor unburnt -- only smoking wasteland of a wasteland lake victoria burst its banks in kenya, 32k displaced; another 50 houses washed away in tanzania; & the cloud of smoke from australian bushfires in dec. has circled the globe several times & we’re not flattening the curve of temperatures (or wealth) & we are not pro-gress-ing . . . so time to hit the streets! if you can’t see it, it’s a hoax -- don’t let “experts” & “instruments” & the so-called “scientific method” or “evidence” or “rationality” keep you from working or shopping or driving or shooting or (o lord thou pukest me out) burning burning burning

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. |
