Demand the climate obeys orders. seek vengeance on the scientists if it declines. turn over the redwoods to the firing squad for taking a stand. shake a fist at the sky till it blushes. request the clams to clam up till you're done talking. hide the fish in the sea because everyone needs one. Expect the mule to make up its mind. tempt the desert with some water. torture the water with some desert. attack the salt flats for being too dry. file a complaint against the rattlesnakes for causing such a ruckus. question the cactus till they give up their values. Force the leaves to show their true colors. slaughter the weeds 'cause they don't belong here. silence the wind till it agrees to stop singing. moon the moon for serving moonshine. sentence squirrels to a life without acorns. terrorize the trees to do your dirty work. Infringe on the kumquat's rights. bury the berries, uproot the roots, ravage the cabbage, spoil the soil. arrange the oranges to reflect the sun. lecture the watermelons on how you scalped more natives than anyone. declare war on the avocados to prove your point. Nag the children to bear the weight on their shoulders. rifle through the planets to find what you want. crack open a book and read a poem that defines this all as the End.
