“ Aiming “ ...

” Aiming “

Aiming to keep the peace
developing increasing fragility
capturing primacy
heightening anxiety
carrying out poisonings
while asking for anonymity
due to sensitivities
once considered a sham
and a failure
yet ordered to congratulate
suffering punitive actors
as officials are banished
condemned to uphill battles
while releasing raw data
for supposed clean air and water
targeting discount stores
starting food wars
making it almost impossible
to stalk spoiled mating calls
while asking, “Are we alone now?”
having scouted for unknown microbes
stroke by stroke seemingly hopeless
toted notebooks cameras and spotting scopes
piloting decoded arial drones
as trees unchaotically control erosion
opening weathered envelopes
for heron and pelican feathers
neatly stacked on desks
in order to track contacting wetlands...
