Advent Valentine

And the lives that depend
on growing grass in the desert
draining the aquifers to keep
golf courses green as it gets
naturally in the east or Midwest
whose future races will look back
in horror at the profligacy
with which we crucified the earth
but sooner or later even the earth
has to die at least the physical part
by which I mean no excuse for
hastening it along unless perhaps
it’s brain-dead already and
in a permanently vegetative state
and we are only turning off the machines
