Steve Kirwood seems
to be the foe
of the living shrines
of oak and maple
beech and pine
********
Amazingly, the NPR
show Living On Earth
was defending fires
on its show today.
"Aggressive thinning"
is their term..
what if others
aggressively thinned
your bank account?
or your arm and leg
members?
Perhaps if Steve Kirwood
and the Idaho pawns of
the lumber industry
were on fire themselves
they would have a different
perspective..
since they cannot relate
to the birds, squirrels,
and trees on fire.
