physics and chemistry
such deep space
kissing spectral telemetry
how to touch
create this
atomic weight
bond that
covalent molecules
gravity and  periodic more
electrons at the speed of light
bountiful earth and barren Mars
incorporate bombastic haste
inculcate worthy stars
all this plastic waste
if only proactive
this selective utopia
something composed
literally no place
everything and feckless compost
broken down
nitrogen and organic matters
culpable fossil fuels
repose oil in nature
shame on us
our reckless waste disposal
this excessive dirge and ringing
all these other spatters
blasts and final gasps
hand wringing
idiotic flapping and chaotic flings
around the happening world
gross entrapment
following through
between the widening gaps
boss but we need to grow
don't concede lost ballast
callouses deep in mother earth
we need brother trees
live to breathe
mature forests
breeding and flourishing
all that mocking drastic
economy can't retrieve lost birds
won't behave like bees
sweetening and nourishing
divorce all this choking plastic
failing starving seabirds
full of twist-off bottle caps
engorged with broken bits
crops full of human treason
why not human
just give us reason
imprison us on poisoned earth
didn't vital God
give us title and reign
that milkmaid happy
dancing in a peaceful dell
cottage cheese or just microplastic
an entourage from blissful hell
everything we eat
mining and glazing
rephrasing plagues and razing oceans
everything in amazing stages
what we see and sell
continents of bloated plastic
what derelict bought
careless something
denoting reckless thought
right out of the demoted ground
eruptions on the fragile surface
should we connotate
who cares to denotate
too much pollution
so much terror and detonation
why care at all
so much confusion and extinction
constructing even hotter
corrupting matter and water
so many convincing spoiled spots
wasted lifetimes
so few unspoiled parks and natural plots
toxic water and air oughta
ruined by senseless
what would birds say
relentless could we
ever understand
should weather gods
even be angry
maybe we will
learn a lesson
still we need
elementary schooling
depending on every thing
so much we need to surrender
defending what we need and tool
addressing spirit and soul
prayers of ritual confession
bonding truth with actual latency
exceptional fact and physical chemistry
so much ineffectual expectation
kissing factual telemetry
abiding cryptic God
conscripting heady actuation
