Look the Other Way
These are my concerns, I have
wrapped them neatly
and put them in a zip-lock bag
I tried sharing them
however they did not
halve and I do not know what
else to do
When the waters rise
my concerns will stay dry if only
someone could help me
bury them deep, press
them beneath the ashes and
when that doesn’t work first time
re-press them
If you want to unpack them
there’s not much I
can do though it’d be easier
to have a wine or two
an alphabet of mind alterations
from E to LSD to MDMA
to help forget
There was a time I had hope
my concerns would evaporate
in the +2ºC but time itself
has taught me otherwise
Now I live safe in the knowledge
there’re more concerns where they
came from
