the rising tide

the rising
tide is
because the world
is getting
hot.
hotter with
each day.
each breath
of machinery
filling the air.
how the ice
breaks, the floes
disperse.
how the banks
are filled
with new water,
by inches
and feet each
year.
what is there
to do.
you haven't even
had your
first cup
of coffee yet
so you'll think
more about it
later.
