good afternoon, good evening and goodnight.


There's a common thread

amongst many people.

Climate change is upon us,

and it's someone else's fault.


Ive been shopping recently

and I want to scream at the walls

or to the person standing next to me

the human race is finished.


sneakers

shirts

chocolate

whitegoods.


Greta told us not to use straws

and we ordered a billion rat tests

all plastic

all thrown away.


everybody has a new phone

a new car

orders uber eats

gets an amazon delivery.


go on  I dare you

say we aren't all to blame

say its not our fault

say they can fix this.


I was in hawaii many years ago

at a supermarket buying fresh fruit and avocados for breakfast

whilst my american friends guzzled coke and doughnuts 

with a litre of milk and sugar at 8am.


the checkout guy

said "do you want to donate a dollar to the heart foundation"

I said "no way"

"you got yourselves into this shit, get yourselves out"


We did didn't we!
