PECO boo - recalcitrant kilowatt hour...

poet2rhyme4tommorrow

consumer among a Nationwide of policy holders

Though crafted many years ago
during the dead of winter
where Arctic – Polar Vortex
did ferociously blow,
where the skies dumped
so much snow
upon the southern states
that the Federal government issued
quite a lengthy cargo
of insulated boxcars
to haul said crystalline precipitation
to the Inuits in Alaska,
who experienced global warming
on a scale magnitudes higher
since time immemorial,
when Gaia coalesced into
a semi-solid electronic state of the art
Pangea formed during the late
Paleozoic era (specifically
during the Carboniferous
and Permian periods),
roughly 335 million years ago

when all my troubles seemed so far away,
which nearly spelled a deathblow
to their then microbial culture,
which outdated name
of indigenous people
formerly known as esquimaux
eons after planet Earth
considerably cooled down,
where much appreciation
shown videre licet gratitude
naming each offspring as Donald Trump,
and the humble tribal nations
wept tears of (née rivers) of joy did flow

as evidenced by rosy cheeks
of contemporary native peoples,
though barely covered with animal pelt,
(courtesy of so called
western discoverers including religious zealots,
especially people of the cloth,
who barely took objection
to barednaked ladies
and Village People
(mostly men, who
democratically hammered out
equality – never before witnessed
in the annals of civilization
and its discontents
between the government paradigm
qua division of loves labors never lost,
a cross between matriarchal
and patriarchal society),
nevertheless a blinding light of radiance
evoked an aura, charisma,
dogma, enigma, and persona
throughout the many schools of thought
that populated modus operandi
such as their dogmatic ecocentrism,
ethics, morality destined
clans of the Cave Bear and,
shone forth analogous to Rudolph
whereby their noses
also did brilliantly glow
non-verbal credo, and progressive doctrines
as their one admirable means
to communicated thank you and hello
cause one living mythical male
(not me – just a generic
long haired pencil necked geek)
one visibly stood out
yours truly among volunteers
one gentle green giant hulking
from Siberia known Ivanhoe
(that found Andre
the Giant considerably overtowered)
impossible mission for him
to tread thru the woods
without being seen nor heard,
but many folks
addressed him as Trader Joe,

whose apt response to a question
loosely sounded much
like English words “You know,”
where he ofttimes
went off on his soliloquy,
how he formerly used
to live in Lake Woebegone
as a Norwegian Bachelor farmer,
but the above average temperatures
got so stinkin hot
that glaciers from the North Pole melted
triggering horrific mudslides
which effort to clear mire and muck
back breaking grunt work
to painstakingly remove
puddles of mudd away
meaning the sediment from mudslides
affected even those inured to physical labor
with chiseled muscles
and abdominal six packs
even hardened athletes bound
bound for an unspecified future Olympics
hopefully while still youths in their prime
and wiry older generations
with trim physiques
such as myself even
though diagnosed with lumbago,
when Alaska an autonomous state
before mass immigration
of Trumpers boasted
after they claimed Canada and Mexico
as part of the United States of America
about being nouveau riche
off cruel grueling
discourtesy sweat equity
of forcibly employ slaves.


How ideal to luxuriate
that the road not taken
got plowed in a timely fashion
and even the Coast Guard
willingly pitched in
regarding mending wall
with reinforced rebar,
this arduous task after apple picking
to bulk up state of the art infrastructure
silently uttering Out, Out
towards when catastrophic havoc struck
known to the Greeks
as the Erinyes
(the "Furies"
in Roman mythology, or Furiae),

now attributed to the environmental
in sum re: fall out of Mother Nature

supposed divine right
courtesy manifest destiny
(the 19th-century belief
that the United States
divinely ordained to expand
borders across North American continent
from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean)

linkedin to eminent domain
(the term for the state
seizing property depends
on whether the action
for public use or related to a crime)

ordained by egotistical
Homo sapiens sapiens usurped frill
maximizing climate control
with matter of fact bravado
creature comforts pang to fulfill
consequent flagrant portent
to exercise freewill
unbeknownst and not aware
how little control naked ape
wielded over the environment
pays hefty bill

cracking and cranking up atmospheric heat
as temperature upon oblate spheroid
or Tellus: Roman terms for the earth mother
exhales her figurative might
synonymous with breathing method
to fuel fake news sans target chill

cumulative destructive energy
re: ecological footprints generated,

thus advisable to swallow
figuratively bitter pill,

herewith suggested
binary/digital quill,

cuz unchecked energy
consumption will

necessitate fossil fuels
subjected to frack and drill

invariably contribute

render moot no rhyme
or reason for Jack and Jill

to hastily clamber uphill

fetching pail of possibly
tainted, ruined, polluted... water

evidenced courtesy eutrophication

algal blooms, decimated krill

aquatic flora and fauna stockstill

meaning... untenable for life

perhaps percolating, spewing, zapping...
seepage from landfill

nsync with detritus
many industries spill,

not necessarily directly
linkedin to cranking thermostat until

warmth ideal for barenaked ladies,

who cavort, and frolic,
viz yule eyes imagistic poetic skill
veritably lighting boathouse row

reflections shimmering, scintillating,

glistening off Schuylkill
(more accurately known as sure kill)

deceptive brilliant appearance

unsafe toxic drinking water courtesy mill

yens flowing electrons to power

industrial secretes no longer confidential

public knowledge and awareness critical

to stem tide allowing, enabling,
and providing juice to sustain treadmill

ever faster rat race
pace of life cozily housing

Homo sapiens hermetically sealed against

extreme temperatures,
ye must adapt experiencing chill
bundling layers of clothes -
case in point yours truly,
who also keeps windows ajar

refreshing brisk air lungs to fill.
