#1065 the good flood

our generations share life on the cusp
between overabundance and its consequences
and soon that imaginary line will be behind us
and the literal consequences will be commonplace

i dare you to find a newspaper or a news broadcast
that does not foreshadow the flood
my toes were wet, now my shins
how did i not notice the waterline rising?

what do we do
when our water line
is farther and further above our heads
than any pump hose?

the answer?
connect our hoses
share and sacrifice
rebuild
