dust-up at the sewers

a jack-in-the-box of new perspectives
ready and able to spew prose capes and clang
the punchbowl pronouns
we prefer bamboo soloists
to instant hobble confederates

call the department of vital fractures
send for the ensign of contested stunts
we got an election to settle

don’t vote for the tinker of dimwits!

What I’m Reading:

The globe has experienced 12 months of record warmth, with temperatures consistently exceeding the 1.5C rise above preindustrial levels that has been touted as the limit to avoiding the worst of climate breakdown.
