I have always been frightened by math.
8,473 km,
5,264.878 miles
between Amazon
rain forests,
Greenland
ice sheets.
150 acres Amazon forest lost every minute,
78 million acres lost every year.
11 billion tons of Greenland’s ice lost,
1 day.
Is someone not frightened by math
coming up with the equation?
Is someone not frightened by facts
coming up with words,
chips of hope,
guarded guidance
amidst the burning,
melting,
miles of denial,
funereal distance?
