Birds fell from the sky

Heat causing birds to fall from the sky

microscopic plastic

In the food chain

Sea birds long have dined upon plastics

To their starvation

Do we think we are immune?

I have no taste for rebellion anymore

I am tired

And we are all fools

I have probably 15 years left

Maybe less given my family genetics

And if I escape cancer or cardiac

Dementia lurks at 70

70 on the dot

both my grandmother and father

Both 70 on the dot

I have no desire to be

pissing

Shitting

myself

In an institution

With others as bad

as I

If not worse

So my concerns about

Microplastic

And heatwaves

And war

And imminent poverty

as I type this out

I think come on

Cancer

and

Cardiac

Get here silent and sudden
