Looking out over the verdant Vermont foliage, the hillsides dappled in shades of gold and rust, I wonder, "Who will be the last to feel a fall breeze?" As the winters grow warmer and the summer more intense, spring and autumn drift into memory.

It's earth day, but it's more than that,
We need a chance to think
For the chain of flora and fauna, we're just another link.
We're not so special, us human beings
That the world deserves to suffer

River running wide and long,
I wish that I could sing your song.

Pine tree growing, tall and thin,
I wish I were a needle, sharp as a pin.

Wildflower, small and blue,
I wish to be a flower, too.

My mask leads a pitiable life
Strapped to my face all day
And yet it protects me and keeps me safe
"Thank you!" is what I'd like to say.

Thanks for all the times in the crowded mall
When I worked the counter

I am choking to death on freshly cut grass
And the Quaker song "Simple Gifts."

I lie face down on the freshly mowed lawn
And the dogs give me a polite sniff.

I am getting asthma from the gymnasium air
