It is
too nice out
to write
poetry today
not for lack of subject matter

(genocidemultinational corporate tyrannyhuman rights violationsmass extinctionsmall arms proliferationrapeantibiotic-resistant bacteriawage inequity

right now
a parent
is telling their child
"because I say so!")
but the sun is out,
people are smiling
buying

to bring more people into this world

sucking my lolly,
I renew my concern for creature comforts;
like a frog in a pot
on a stove
I feel no need
to move.
