NO ONE TALKS ABOUT OVERPOPULATION
Maybe it’s not a concern to them being harvested for humanity first hand
but I observe the land
Farmlands needing every square inch to feed the latest newborn that will grow up
to buy
Consuming red peppers out of season because they eat with their eyes Guatemala sounds exotic
a townhome in the city
and
When we can’t cultivate
anymore
drench the crops with chemicals until the yields are greater and greater and Don’t consider the taste in your mouth the good and the bad like having to weight out having to tell someone no
sour
you NEED to control yourself
Set out a predator that’s as tiny as a mosquito that is a mosquito Sucking the blood from one patient and depositing it into another Free blood transfusions extending our life expectancy greater and greater and that traveled the country Let’s all grab avocados to northern Ohio The plastic bags grocery stores so willingly provide us take them home discard the recyclable carriers make guacamole eat 1/2 thenhaveourmid-lifequarterlifecrisis overtheNOWgreymushbowlthatwasSOripeonthewayheretous WhyOhWhycan’teveryseasonbeINseason Santa Fe Literary Review
