I am held in trust –
As to what becomes of us,
there’s time yet to tell ~
Hard to recognize
those attributes described in
History textbooks ~
Denialism
may not yet take hold of us –
might we stay awake ~
To borrow a phrase:
A shields-down approach conveys
that we come in peace ~
The atmosphere’s Cold –
So why are we not drilling
in our shared spaces?
I don’t mean to call
for more alarmist practice –
I simply wonder ~
In my mind, I am
a second-grader huddled
underneath my desk ~
