We will simply bitch and moan about every little thing till everything gets fixed, but in very beautiful or satirical ways, maybe some limericks or sonnets, ribald jokes or invocations to the Gods of inspiration, oh lord, bless this thy poem so with it we shall bring forth utopia hither to for.
What will we do, go on strike? The world cannot do without the words of poets. So ironically true. Will we with honey-tongues of mead fire of inspiration trigger a new dawn and spring upon the earth, that every human born has all they need till the end of time. What would the world do without poets?
I was just thinking that we need to start a poets union, then I laughed thinking of all the people and especially women that write poetry the idea of the horrible oppression of poet laborers struck me as comical, tell that to Garcia Lorca and Rene Good and Refaat Alareer. Solidarity in toto!

I can see the sidewalk from my 8th story window and a guy just biffed it on some ice, fell and his bags of groceries went everywhere, stuff all over the snow, a woman walked over and started helping him pick it all up, I felt so bad for that guy, he yelled when he fell I was so startled, he's fine.
