Those colorfully
yellow and green
migrant flowers
from Europe.
Ruderals so successful
they’re widespread
windblown
seeds parachute
trying their lot everywhere
and especially find a loving niche
between nicely manicured blades of
mono cultured grass.
Our lawns.
But those golden-maned beasts
take over and push
all else out
in our unnatural habitats
making them more man-made by the minute
and are at the gates
roaring
of the wilds now too.
Do tread on them.
Well it’s not sitting there
treasure like
waiting to be unearthed
you can’t pay for it
looking or study won’t help
but
if you’re willing to open up
and work hard
man, it can knock you
broadside like a barn door
though it’s usually just a wee thing
take it close to heart
and rejoice ’cause
it’s found you
Adam and Eve learned
falling from trust in their Lord.
Climbing back is hard.
You can deny the weather all you like
you can ignore my words
or 99% of scientists
but Climate?
Climate’s a bitch.
Katrina, Wilma, Sandy, Irma, Maria
Go ahead and deny them!
I dare you.
The sad thing is that the
cost of your being proven
wrong
especially as the lag
will hit your grandkids
is high.
So very severe.
The kids will
have that hindsight
written as fact in carbon
so very twenty twenty.
That gramps and grannie
were horribly selfish people.
What was the great Denier Talking point?
Oh yeah-
“The point is, you can never be too greedy.”
Sleep… perchance to dream
of me as the warmth comforts
yourself all cozzzzzzzzzzy
King Jan’s cavalry
smashed the Turk seige of Wien:
an empire fell.
when Irma came round
not polite: we flew to ground
and were meat to pound
