until i've seen
the northern
lights i won't
be satisfied
living in my city
until i've eaten
fugu i won't be
sated by sushi
until the forests
return i can't
sunbathe on
your deck
without guilt
when solar-powered
cars are mass
marketed
i may, just may
learn to drive
when beggars
say thank you
instead of cursing
food gifts
(because
they're not silver)
i may pause
to listen
when newborn
babies stop
dying because
their mums
avoid clinics
i will stop caring
until i can dance
on lakes and eat
cake batter
from volcanos
i will believe
in fairy tales
now that
i've heard you
laugh and cry
i believe in you.
after i am
ashes and dust
i'll still entreat you
to help save
marine otters
and giant pandas
until we help
mama earth heal
why should she
feed us?
