other things

the world
is melting. it's on the news
every night.
a foot a day.
the ice bergs slipping
back into the sea.
you want to worry about it,
but can't
hold onto the thought
for more than
a minute or two.
most of the news is the same.
death, war, disease.
you care,
but you realize that
there is little you can do.
so go on your way
thinking about other things.
