#2022 November PAD Chapbook Challenge
Day 7 7.11.22
Prompt: Adaptation
I'm Not Kicking Back The future can no longer be held in the past, no room for denial now this drama is nonfiction, times have changed, my lawnmower has less employ but I'm not kicking back, not until my garden is water wised, or my soap ceases to kill fish, the templar in me crusades against the plastic scourge that has evangelised my life. Who would have thought I'd be conserving water, checking labels, sorting bins, reducing travel, whatever it takes to reduce my impact, my footprint, my legacy, protecting sentient life on this rare earth. I can't undo the past, but I can do the future, I'm taking a darwinian line, adapt or perish, demise is not my game. Copyright 2022 ©Paul Vincent Cannon All Rights Reserved ®️
