The Saddest Greenhouse

Two
men
on
deck-chairs.

Sitting
upon
an
iceberg.

One
handles
a
whiskey glass.

The
other
stares
into
the waves.

Taking 
advantage,

Rationally
one

Ice
pick
stabs

The iceberg

To
gain

Ice
fresh
in
his glass.

He
says,

"Don't worry!
 I know how
to
make water
in
the middle
of
a desert!"

Still staring

The other
replies,

"Yes. I
know, too."

Cutting and deft poem- an allegory tale. Beautifully formed and wtitten. We are all "sitting upon an iceberg" destroying the earth that sustains us- such a brilliant, but sad, analogy. Your eloquent voice is heard...Kudos!

Having obtained a functioning typewriter with built in computer I may now thank you, typo free, Annette! Your comments are of great value to me.

Sometimes technology helps-ha! I love your work Brett. :)

I consider this device just a typewriter with handily attached computer. Thanks for letting me know, Annette. I consider you my most avid and appreciated reader.

I am so honored by that. Take good care.
