Deforestation
We were all outside, that day
you don't get many earthquakes here
but the dishes rattled off the shelves
plaster cracked, windows faster
I skedaddled, Ma too, and the dog
We were all “Wha? This ain't
southern California!”
Then we saw the ship.
It was big, round, just like Hollywood
sucking up all the plants:
trees, shrubs, daffodils, all flowers
flying into the big hole in the saucer
no grass, not even crab grass.
It flew off and lawns are all
we have left. They took all
the greenery for 20 miles
“Don't that beat all” my neighbor said
I couldn't agree more.
