Intrepid Maverick Philosopher Returns

To aerate, babble and procrastinate

decluttering man cave rubbish

welcoming this temperate

(Billy me) idle March thirtieth

tooth house sand nineteen

eventually to accomplish

sorting thru lifetime

worth miscellaneous

papered material former

rainforest, I banish

to the shredder repurposing

once upon a time

stately majestic humongous

dignified cub billed bearish,

yet stern silent taskmasters

razed forest mongers left blemish -

fueling the roaring engines

of western civilization

paper products service

material world feeding bookish

appetite, sans (ironic

knotty twist) printed

hot off the press bulletins,

bestsellers inform boyish

wordsmith, how vast

treeless tracts hasten

global abomination, chopping

degradation, lamentation... brownish

blotches encompass inert naked,

torchered, and zapped

originally pristine realms

overrun by sawyers brutish

Paul Bunyanesque (sporting

as good) fellas carved

cleared, and cropped enormous

swaths back when bullish

intruders displaced indigenous

peoples crowing manifest destiny

as mantra to appease expansionist

predilection frenzied cultish

zero sum game to annex

unbroken wilderness promulgating

feverish gold rush to demolish

wantonly scorching Earth,

whereby present day burgeoning

population irrevocably establish

ruination ushering ominous augury

permeating mine mortal mutterings.
