grey towns
grey skins
black hearts
until
the last

cigarette butt
well squeezed, carmine lipsticked
enjoyed but oh so briefly
discarded in the gutter
smoking
mother earth

insist they are not snowflakes
while drowning in
condensed carbonated air

across an ancient lake bed
each SUV
a stylish badge of freedom
smells like dead planet

labor day
when the workers get to spend
their only time
short one act plays pretending
everyone is free

the suit

I believe what you believe

exxon promise to restore
CO2 output
politicians rage
from their sinking stage defending
more hot air
conspiracies come true
strong hurricanes might be seen
as nature's vaccines
