the bra** yellow air cat scratches
at the back of your acid throat,
each breath slowly k**ing you,
smothering, carcinogenic,
up to that point that it accelerates
in asthma and odd allergies
nobody had when you were young,
but everyone must now take for granted.
but why must?
why can't we, supposedly superior,
change our stupid ways,
and mend the rents and tears
we've slaughtered into the fabric
of this once fine firmament?
teach your children? learn yourself.
it's too late for your children, otherwise
