” Upgraded from Critically Endangered “

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Upgraded
from “critically endangered”
to “endangered”
still living in dire straits
like ministering
to death row inmates
as an amalgamation
of speculation and debate
many mysteries remaining
within subglacial climate changes
tectonic plates digging out ocean basins
creating mountain ranges
better to track a warming planet
in unprecedented detail
new routes to science stations planned
looking like mining camps
studying collapsing ice caps
with no official price tag
for the equivalent of a launchpad
while dragging huge fuel bladders
sundials casting deep shadows
continental rollbacks ...
