More and More
by Margaret Atwood

More and more frequently the edges
of me dissolve and I become
a wish to assimilate the world, including
you, if possible through the skin
like a cool plant's tricks with oxygen
and live by a harmless green burning.

I would not consume
you or ever
finish, you would still be there as the air.

Unfortunately I don't have leaves.
Instead I have eyes
and teeth and other non-green
things which rule out osmosis.

So be careful, I mean it,
I give you fair warning:

This kind of hunger draws
everything into its own
space; nor can we
talk it all over, have a calm
rational discussion.

There is no reason for this, only
a starved dog's logic about bones.
“

If every American took every single action suggested by Al Gore in the movie ‘An Inconvenient Truth’, it would only reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 21%. It’s not an accident that what’s being promoted as a solution are personal solutions and blaming individuals for their consumption. Consumption is a problem, but that lets the corporations, capitalists, the government, and the 1% of people who are literally living at the expense of the whole planet off the hook.


We have to find a way to break through with this information that the Department of Defense in the US is the largest user of oil on the planet. We could all stop using our cars, and all of that, and it wouldn’t make a dent in the consumption that’s done by industry in terms of water, oil, energy, and everything else.
