Wings of State Tanka
The wings are shearing
The fuselage vibrates hot
Head down between knees
There are no parachutes here
Grit your teeth close your eyes—NOW.
What I’m Reading:
“All of us moderns … can get away with a lot of waste when the economy is good. We forget that conditions fluctuate, and we may not be able to anticipate when conditions will change. By that time, we may already have become attached to an expensive lifestyle, leaving an enforced diminished lifestyle or bankruptcy as the sole outs.”
— Jared Diamond / Collapse
