mermaid went fishing on high seas
to find a catch, went down on both knees
her boat capsized and sank
down it was all dark and dank
found an oil spill, sea of black grease

Powerful piece. Metaphorically as well as the literal truth of environment. Very nice.

well, yes, it is very sad! Humans are supposed to be the smartest creatures on the planet, yet how dumb we make situations at times. My friend in Pennsylvania is worried about a gas line running through her area that is odorless and colorless. It’s a nutty situation for that area, especially since the area had to be evacuated the other day because a construction crew severely damaged a gas line! She said the smell was very strong and foul! Your poem does hit a nerve with how things are going!
