Hyperbole # 2 by Jennifer Wardell

A category five hurricane blasts
its way across the open sea hitting
the coastline with devastation that lasts
for decades, hurricane winds are splitting

beam and pillar, Katrina, Andrew, Ike:
All the progeny of global warming.
When Katrina hit every dam and dike
burst, flooding New Orleans, once a charming

little city: Mardi Gras, bourbon, blues,
an entire city leveled by storm,
people all across the country can choose
how much pollution they wish to let form

in landfills and the atmosphere, they could
do more than they're do and they know they should.
