NO ONE TALKS ABOUT OVERPOPULATION

Maybe it’s not a concern to them being harvested for humanity first hand

but I observe the land

Farmlands needing every square inch to feed the latest newborn that will grow up

to buy

Consuming red peppers out of season because they eat with their eyes Guatemala sounds exotic

a townhome in the city

and

When we can’t cultivate

anymore

drench the crops with chemicals until the yields are greater and greater and Don’t consider the taste in your mouth the good and the bad like having to weight out having to tell someone no

sour

you NEED to control yourself

Set out a predator that’s as tiny as a mosquito that is a mosquito Sucking the blood from one patient and depositing it into another Free blood transfusions extending our life expectancy greater and greater and that traveled the country Let’s all grab avocados to northern Ohio The plastic bags grocery stores so willingly provide us take them home discard the recyclable carriers make guacamole eat 1/2 thenhaveourmid-lifequarterlifecrisis overtheNOWgreymushbowlthatwasSOripeonthewayheretous WhyOhWhycan’teveryseasonbeINseason Santa Fe Literary Review
