If we cut all the forests down.
\nBurned all the meadows.
\nIf we remove the faces
\nof mountains,
\nand put the breath
\nof our machines in the air.
\nIf we empty the seas of fish,
\nmine the coral
\nand melt the sapphires in the ice.
\nWe will have
\nthe best horror movie
\nof the season.
\nThe best adventure book
\nof the year.<\/p>\n
Something to cry over,
\nhide under our pillows,
\nflock to our altars
\nand say enough, enough.
\nI want my wits back
\nthat you scared away.
\nMy hope,
\nwhich fell down a well.
\nA need
\nfor something cheery
\non the screen,
\nfunny on the page.<\/p>\n
It was only a film,
\nonly a story.
\nThe unnamed asteroid,
\nbig as a moon,
\nwith out names on it,
\ncoming undetected
\non a sunny afternoon.
\nFiction,
\npure fiction,
