Skepticism of Summer Solstice (poem)

With the winters warmer than spring formerly was
melted ice is easy upon memory scapes
sidewalks covering over the former uneven terrain
were worth days to cover before

snow plows and diesel exhaust easing the way today
tomorrow will have a deep water port on the Arctic Sea
where Beluga whales could dream without the assault of oil
with the military industrial complex M.I.C.rowfones ubiquitous

contributing untold millions in ads of support
the high Arctic is safe to gather carbon monoxide
as water at four degrees centigrade resists freezing
superfluous and modestly chaotic molecules energized
dance in the sunlight

The U.S.N. Obama will gaily bring officers with fur collars up
dreadnaughts of war to the northern pole at Summer Solstice
parades of peace will break out and Boston will become the new capital
a corporate blanket of security will cover us all.
