Human Males Will Kill Us All

Can we survive our Y chromosome?

I think not. From the Sumerians onward,
the Y leads us to conflagrations brutal
and useless. Leads us to a predation,
social and economic, that puts the world
of mammals at climatological risk.
The plants and bugs and microbes

will adapt as the lions and tigers
and bears (Oh my!) lie down
in sediments of soot and plastics.
Fuck the humans. They deserve
extinction. It's the lions and
tigers and bears (Oh! My…) I mourn.


Atlanta Was Spared by Mistake

Sure, Sherman burned Atlanta.
He should have salted it as well,
as Rome did Carthage. Prevent
the offending weed from flowering
again. Consign the city to oblivion.


When to Stop Drinking

Stop drinking when
you can't stand up
to pour the next drink.
