#CO2 WEEDS & TAXES?

Just as a gardener pulls out

weeds to give food plants space

social economies
TAX THE BAD to help

THE GOOD FLOURISH..









URANIUM—238 . . . a thought poem . . .


It's an illusion to think of uranium
as a thing, a rock, a fuel,
a metal.

Uranium is not a thing;
Uranium, is a movement,
a deadly movement,

a Devil's Staircase decomposing,
decaying, descending
down a dark, one-way shaft
to the bottom of Openheimer's Hell:—

IN ONE BREATH....

astatine,
bismuth,
polonium,
protactinium,
radium,
radon,
thallium,
thorium.

names a hundred years ago nobody had to worry about,
now giving off neutrons as sharp as razor blades,
invisible slow motion death for the cells of life,
until, f i n a l l y, it turns into:—

solid lead.
