modern problems #6

i’m trying to be more environmentally conscious

but it’s hard when i just want to leave the car

running in the driveway, filling the street with

the sound of someone coming home again.

and I’ve been cranking the temp each night,

to make up for a recent halving of body heat.

the truth is i’m wistful for the days of holes

in the ozone layer and i miss the foreboding

bbc segments that filled the blissful silences

on our aimless sunday drives.
