Let it go—
Let go of every thought that’s tied a knot
So taut you thought you ought
To be better off dead and
Rotting
Rather than a rotting plot
On a giant dot
We call home yet
Simultaneously plot
Against it
Like it owes us something
When the truth is
We owe Mother Earth
Motherly care and protection
From ourselves
With ourselves by ourselves for ourselves
And the generations to come
That keep coming,
And coming,
And coming, and coming, and coming
Faster than I can type words on
A keyboard too small for thumbs
On a phone too big for pockets
Of shorts too short for
Children
In a society that doesn’t know
Up
From
Down
Left from right

Go from
STOP.
Let it go
So you don’t
Go.
