Downwind


On a day such as today I’d

never contemplate urinating

au nature behind what could

also be, the front of a tree.


On a day such as today I

would never contemplate

hanging out washing on a

line from the above branches.


On a day such as today I

would never contemplate

leaving any of our windows

or doors open, even ajar.


On a day such as today I

would never contemplate

going outside because of the

nuclear power plant upwind.
