CD2 Assembly
hundreds of us Zoom in
to send Joe back to Washington
there’s no one else we want
we just must jump through hoops
to check the boxes
to make it so
I explain to Cedar
I’m taking dinner in the guest room
because I’m saving democracy
(I’m not, but Joe may)
the morning after the fire
Polis, Neguse, Bennet
grim in the chopper
yet still reassuring –
citizen leaders who understand warming
have a healthy fear of climate change
and aren’t afraid to make good trouble
we’ll send them back into the firefight
at least one more round
