A big surprise!
Growing-up in the northern suburbs of Seattle
I took rain and misty days for granted.
Moving to eastern Washington State,
decades ago,
I learned the reality
of climate:
Snow-blowers in winter
Air-conditioners in summer.
Nothing can prepare my coastal Christian friends
for what they are about to face.
Not even ranting
that climate change
is simply a Chinese hoax
and planting their fat asses
in recliners to watch their beloved leaders Trumping lies
as they literally die,
not figuratively, not metaphorically,
but,
you know,
becoming
DEAD.
