The careening, clashing, crashing, seasons of our times
A perennial climate rollercoaster; turbulent and extreme, lacking rhythm, rails, or off-ramps
Natural calamities exacerbate callous, fabricated, human crises a thousandfold
Wind, water, heat and earth, in a horrific elemental uproar and meltdown
As nature's erstwhile orderly, co-simpatico, congenial seasons of eons, spin off-course
Mocked, trolled, and controlled, by climate break-down and freak outcomes
Winter, spring, summer, and fall cycles, now entangled in a helter-skelter, unruly relay race
The priceless baton, earth's rod of normality, harmony and balance, involuntarily dropped; perhaps forever lost
Misaligned, handicapped, star-crossed, seasoned runners, bump and collide; unstable, mistimed and out-of-line.
**
The splendid realm of mammals, insects and avians, runs on track, keeping to a biological clock
As winter hoarders continue to testify to their undeterred industrious activities, and survival skills
Squirrels building their larder of walnuts, beechnuts, and hazelnuts
Moles macabrely hoarding their stash of live worms
Fire ants prep a 'jerky' meal, from stored prey; honeypot ants transform into live storage-kegs
