Do we now find ourselves in Zone 6a or 6b? Or even 7a? Are we in a Free Speech Zone or a Watch What You Say Zone? The Twilight Zone or the Daybreak Zone? Is this the Zona Rosa or the Zona Muerta? What time zone do you have? What light spreading across the longitudes? Does AutoZone imply a PostAutoZone? “Zone A” sounds like prime real estate, when in reality it is composed of “areas subject to inundation by the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event generally determined using approximate methodologies.” Does that zone seem erogenous or erosional? Zones define deer season, bear season, four seasons or none. My autonomous zone trumps your occupied zone, so don’t bother me — I’m in The Zone. I’d rather be in the DNS than the DMZ. The Zone 7 Water Agency is proud to report that all water supplied met regulatory standards. Back on earth, we have torrid zones, temperate zones, and . . . I forget the other one. O and death zones, too, way up yonder in the sky. You can see zones in the sky, if you look, populated by gods & monsters. You can run a zone defense, but you only score by running into the end zone. Then the men who run the game will throw up their hands.

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. |
