Seclusion as long as it lasts |
The lesser god Elon,
who took away the Stars,
offers me The Link,
to which I say fuck off,
condemning myself
to engineless Limbo
without money or rockets or influence,
no orbiting views of troop movements
or hurricanes or boreal forests in flames,
proof no longer required
of rabid greed and cruelty,
and who needs to see the coasts sink
as icebergs fall into hot seas,
desperate millions in flight,
better to watch from my porch
the disappearance of songbirds,
alone until the Sheriff arrives,
witness to the local Extinction.
