RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CLIMATE CHANGE
Bone Crush (Global Warming)
Bone crushing heat sweeps
Across the Great Northwest
From Seattle to Portland
From Portland to Boise Idaho
Temperatures borrowed from Navajo land
From Phoenix to Tuba City
From Tombstone to Albuquerque
In the peak of summer
May every member of congress
Every governor and senator
Who swore global warming was a hoax
A joke a figment of liberal imagination
Be sentenced now to a week
In an unairconditioned apartment
In Seattle Tacoma Portland or Spokane
If they survive the ordeal
Let the next words that emerge
From their mouths be an apology
For they what they knew but
Pretended not to know
Let them now know the curse
Of global warming
All the remaining days
Of their lives
