like striped bass erupting from Lake Travis

like carp flapping in a drought dry waterhole
like 33 Chilean miners land locked linked
like oil in the gulf never found
like 3D Titanic forgetfulness
(it was the iceberg that won-remember?
Yet icebergs are splitting off from floes everywhere
meltdown and nowhere to go
like wars of withdrawal and regression
like forgetfulness and repetition
like linus and unix and open source coding
like co-ops and co-operation
like space travel close to earth
like re-enactments and reincarnation
like English Channeling
will there be oxygen enough for overpopulations?
or too many cars to create an oil crisis?
industries evolve like coal to wind
or die like steam and trains
when we speak,have we enough oxygen to debate?
or is this seasonal(papering over the deficits in reasoning
so we can list endangered species as well as becoming one
and like frog in heated water in a frying pan
lose consciousness as we are losing oxygen
