Biome...not too big!! not too far

Atef Ayadi 1966 (Urbana)



structures rise
others fall.

volcano here
and another there.
cracks may open here
but, rivers die elsewhere.

bees and hives retreated
fructose powder and corn syrups
went up, i mean, way, way up.

few shanks and hollowed words and may be less;
in the name of your homestead "post enlightenment."
stop cutting trees for lumber and 4x4ez.
stop the one hero and consider "seven" billions
instead. inward to outward.

anything else is no more my busi-ness.
and thanks and Hello.
