idea for dystopian movie premise:
americans’ very bodies become commodified throughout their lives & beyond, their every action recorded by secret cameras & mics; blizzards paralyze the country on the biggest travel week of the year; brush-fires burn across australia, as much of the country runs out of h2o; heat records fall; grain harvests plummet; huge chunks of the british coastline fall into the sea; much of the beautiful south of france underwater or mudslides; mudslides kill more people there, in tamil nadu, in kenya; much of eastern and southern africa plunged into famine & hunger by successive drought & deluge; freak tornadoes show up in south africa, n. europe, new zealand; manila airport shut by hurricane; mosquito-borne illnesses creep northward – 100 countries report dengue fever; arctic sea-ice melts at exponential rates, sea-levels rise, flooding more frequent across the globe, climate chaos dis- places millions, fleeing cyclones, wild- fires, flooding. what do you think? no? a little too “out there”?

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. |
