On the campus district Up the street from the theater district Down the road from University Circle

I can smell Canada burning across a great lake Two days this climate needs new vocabulary Ten thousand years will make you go soft

For most people it is their heart that will break This is not a design flaw What billions of years created Forty years the goal The heart has its own mind like A climate that needs new vocabulary

The best count of us is now more than 8 billion This is one of the numbers we surely get wrong There are some very difficult numbers What defines an environmental collapse Where does ecology need to degrade to When will people do better The heart is usually what breaks This organ is made to make  There is the forever in the plan What we are building is infinity Where else would you place the foundation When we miss we create chaos At what point is it of concern Seems we saved the right whales for climate to kill Their name tells you everything about them The whalers called them right whales They were the easy money they wanted All those types out swimming in the sea Their type a whole population I swim the cold Atlantic Whole populations I fall for Right people float in place Easy

 I never get through July

I have never loved every number equally Didn't learn that from anyone There is a context to each of us Downstream of an absurd amount of capital formation Those in charge would have lost long ago Thermodynamics dance The titanic in the end found little use for a captain

Selection is at play Infectious the strategy Money is one a great idea Has brought us all here today Tomorrow should  not Survival of old ideas is not  The mechanism is the thing Selection as work Rational public policy excites few
