the energy to care about the earthquake
in Chile,
or the poor
in Venezuela,
the hungry and cold
in Wisconsin.
the war that rages across
the ocean.
i know about the fires,
the floods,
the murders.
not just here, but everywhere.
death and disease.
it's overwhelming.
these large eyed dogs
in cages,
these children
bone thin, begging from
their knees.
i listen to how the icebergs
are melting,
that the polar bears
have nowhere to go.
i'm full to the brim with
bad news,
but right now i have
to go out
back and rake these leaves.
