Strike
The phobia of a copperhead strike
is made real by the lunge of a
lawnmower into the brush to shred
the coiling orange and brown with
a screaming whump only to realize
that it was an eastern box turtle
I had set upon.
Once again what I am afraid of
has led me to destroy what I love
and I weep, wondering if I will ever
become one whose perceived fears
are not acted on.
I did not look to see if the
slowmover was dead
but I knew. I could see the
bloody pieces of her
shell scattered across
the lawn.September 3, 1996

It's not about getting everyone to agree with only you since "you're infallible."
Remind people that disagreement exists and is palpable.
Do what you can, of any "amount" or "worth".You exist, therefore you impact this Earth.
