PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Okay, I promise to cool it

with the glaciers moving

and calving and the sky falling

and the sea expanding

to the point of mass migrations.

Do not fear these things.

They will not happen for another

thirty years or maybe fifty.

.

Okay, so you were born today

and will be in your prime

fifty years from now. I am
sequestered, arrested, and warned

not to prophesy the more like

an ancient about things that

may come. Grab a divining rod

to find water in sere places.

Build a boat to float when

the creek becomes Mississippi like.
Preparations never hurt. Late

preparations might prove fatal.

.

Okay, I can see that you

are experiencing trepidations

so I'm sorry and promise to go forth

and try to practice the sins called

omissions. No mass migrations

of gekkos or snake species, no parrots

relocating to New York City. Quiet

is kept, it is highly likely there 

will be no room because of all

the Hondurans, Cubans, and Haitians

anyway.
