Al Gore says I shouldn’t run my washing machine before 7pm
I hear from him once a week, at least
His e-mails crowd my inbox asking, please
Conserve
Re-use
Don’t waste –
We’re boiling ourselves as lobsters
The little boy
And little girl
Are coming closer in the night
With every misuse of sprinklers
If you leave the lights on when you go
CO2 will trap us in
Squiggly red lines trying to escape
In only the places the ozone lacks holes
But in the car the Postal Service
Are singing about how I can swim any day in
November
And I never quite remember
To not delete his pleas for help
(Warming and cooling cycles of
Interest
Are normal, right?)
