In Which Meo Writes About A Monster…


In Which I Watch Man Destroy, Destroy And Destroy And Destroy…


My days lay flat behind me
And so to before me
My mind a mush
Twas this morn I woke as such.


So what to do?

While prospects nudge
Mine are unseeing eyes
Mine are unmoving limbs
I sit as tho paralyzed


And what to do?

Am I wood like you?
Am I but a piece of ash?
Waiting…
Waiting…
For wave of a magic wand
For a puff from a Jeanie bottle
For a wish come true


What to do?


And the oil is gushing
Vomiting in our ocean
Puking into our Mother earth
A terminal man made cancer

What have we done??
I am sorry, Hitty.
