saw a mama and two baby raccoons in a tree, today
one life for three others?
we see at least 3 deer and a squirrel dead on the side of the road every time we drive somewhere
there's many more we don't see, i'm sure
a handful of roadkill for a couple hundred cars and a society that moves too quickly?
my stomach hurts when i think about the roadkill and stinky cars
it hurts also when i walk into a grocery store with its lights and too much stuff
our society of comfort and over-consumption
sometimes i wish i wasn't born american
and yet, i also understand
(not quite)
