Of Possible Worlds

They say the endangerment was a hoax today I mostly write to mark time No real idea for the reader There they are found Sustainability is an industry not an after thought This the dumbest of all possible worlds Math doesn't lie But the President does Wind is no-fuel energy, sustainable How the old hates the new Many have written Welcome to the Anthropocene It was the fossil fuel industry that first knew it was here Their champion nothing now but a fool The goal is the best possible next two years

Robot Arms Apartment

Some times the worst not so bad A theory of relativity  How do you know some things? She looked like she had been in Arizona Her cats were like dogs A grand assemblage of many things I had not seen you since Thanksgiving Good to know where you are I already knew There are many people in the building From an infinite possibility We observe fewer I walk down the sunny street even under clouds She under dark skies even when the sun shines We save each other's lives

Sevens and nines

​More but less When you add nine Get a number less plus ten Seven arrives sixteen This is how time goes It is not the thing you are waiting What you are doing If the universe was big enough We could find many thing out In a sustainable future you can ask odd questions Pick your team imagine eight around you I never liked that number  Plus you is nine I think you all could do everything Survive every challenge Nine point seven billion nine hundred million teams

Twos and fours

Crisis brought us together It was nobody's first choice Square is a shape well at home Elongated we give certain things new names Burst of creativity is not victory Constrained by words and number

Rash Guard

The long sleeve shirt the most surprising surfing equipment When I think of the sun I think of the surfer The sun and board can be equally rough Sand bars bring waves to order you can only see to believe Nothing is done rashly the most important surfing technique When I follow my heart I become the surfer The curved curl of the wave looks completely different from new angles You can breathe inside them as long as you remember to believe Paddling is ninety percent of surfing One last kick all the surfer needs for ever We carve the waves because they would take us down Trim cut cut cut trim cut trim cut cut cut cut cut - never trim trim

Glacial Erratics

Somethings would not belong Cleveland to Seattle  Two mile thick ice Makes most things small Somethings earn the name great Two miles thick ice Makes some beautiful things We define our territory Two mile thick ice Gravel at the ready

Other

​not the lead character So why center stage There used not to be so many of us Why we love choirs A collective voice that comments on the action Intermediary between the actors and the audience More than them and less than us Something lost in translation We think in twos and fours Sevens and nines Thirteen draws few near
