Transitory

Every month I send a poem to PG&E.
This month I sent this one.

Transitory
by Jack Morgan

Traffic light rattling in the wind Sparrow
still cheerful in the summer chill
Poplars still phony in cells.
They all know it’s not forever
So that’s fine.

In Thailand there are poplars under
bridges and their families and pollution
in the heat and frigid entropy.

Realize poplars can live anywhere, in
anycondition and survive for a long time.
They all know it’s not forever
so that’s fine.
