The Note
Read
The note read...
300 ducks die in a
Tar Sands settling pond,
How many birds die
Flying into windows
And city high rises?
I suppose we insulate
Ourselves from the life
And death thing that
Is only a breath away,
Focus on a dot that
That generates the
Warm and fuzzy,
Like the widow’s
Impact statement
At the
Guantánamo
Bay Trials,
Who will read
The impact statement
For the thousand we
Killed, blasted out
Of their beds before
We put a soldier
On the ground?
