We see Nature working with
the enthusiasm of a man,
Blowing her volcanic forges
like a blacksmith blowing his smithy fires,
Shoving glaciers over the landscapes
like a carpenter shoving his planes,
Clearing, ploughing, harrowing, irrigating--
ever working toward beauty
higher and higher."

-John Muir, 1898

WATCH

i saw it happen

i watched
as a monk fell asleep
his chin now resting
on the top of his sternum
and he snorrs sweetly
sitting before
his computer screen

stinking priorities

Everyone is very conscious of the fact that while Rome is burning,
we shouldn't be having a great time.
Nobody's ordering caviar as a first course.
