An ornate gilt frame crops a vast ocean
void of ice and polar bears and penguins.
the undulation of waves, the motion
back and forth. The melting of ice lengthens
the distance that polar bears need to go
in order to find its food and a place
to stay and hunt. There are no packs of snow
free from the effects of warming. A race
of bears will soon go extinct for a lack
intervention on the part of people
and industry. Regulations too slack
to be effective and a medieval
attitude toward animals and earth:
how much industry are living things worth?
