I’ve read that global warming
Is saving us from the next ice age
Already overdue
That we need a new plague
To curb the population explosion
That all news is fake news
That god created the world
And bacon will kill you.
I cowered as a child of the Cold War
The nuclear bombs were coming,
F uck all that.
The fat lady is a mute
Laugh at life
You’ll never get out alive.
Feel no fear.

The older I get, the fewer Effs I give! Words of wisdom, JB.

To come to terms with death, now that's when one can truly live.

If I was there I would learn how to rock climb

(... I like Herbert.)

Enjoyed your poem... your usual razor-sharp wit.

"I cowered as a child of the Cold War
The nuclear bombs were coming,"

Too close to the mark for me: A poem I wrote not too long ago of childhood angst during the '50's - '60's you might enjoy:



NW 107th Street (Off 9th Avenue NW), Seattle


Mint countertops were a sign of the times;

not that ours were - I don't remember

Peppermint in the garden; strawberries

and buttercups; a tall foxglove and ferns

One neighbor had a nuke shelter built; duck

and cover drills at Crown Hill school paled the

innocent light of impressible youth

An escape through the stinging nettles down

to the shore helped shape an identity

impervious to the daily fallout

"That we need a new plague"... beware of what you wish for... most prescient however.
