25th September 2020

 

sun without warmth
filling the whole house
the smell of fish

Twenty-six people dead
in the Californian fires
"driven by climate change."
How will the kids feel
whose parents started it
with a gender-reveal party?
I bet those twenty-six dead
wish that gender was a choice
left to the individual.
The world is overpopulated.
There's no need for patriarchy:
a mother loves all her children.
Except, I hope,
JK Rowling's mum.
