FROM THE GET-GO

cloudy, gassy
from the get-go

so why should we be so surprised
to find ourselves authors
of the greenhouse effect?

we who
have loved
to see ourselves
mirrored in
water, in glass

this in preference
to cracking the code
of the stars
(much good
that did us)

we who
speak so many languages
speak in
tongues

and yet the planet
boiling, surrendering
once again
to the sea

need that blue screen effect
to wipe everything clean
