BBB poetryThe millennium falcon BY Sean Twohig https://youtube.com/@menindorf?si=yMGszpJr6NrK2l6TA sprawling, beat-inflected meditation on climate grief, false intelligence, and everyday complicity—where mountains outlast denial, tea boils beside apocalypse, recorded by Sean near a stream. • On false equivalence and cosmic humility:“The equal quality of a dog and a stone, of a bug and of man.” • On climate denial and delayed consequence:“Sounds crazy, and four degrees of warming seems so far away… which is nothing in the eye of a mountain.” • On ecological violence:“Redwood, redwood, other grove, other grove. Still being systematically murdered.” • On passive resistance masquerading as action:“This year, all they do is pray in silence and write letters to the editor.” • On inherited prophecy and burdened foresight:“He told you so that three quarters of the world would be destroyed. But he meant it only in his special language.” • On moral paralysis:“Ask my son if he’d rather have ten billion dollars or stop climate change. He couldn’t decide.” • On modern contradiction:“Oh yeah, and while you’re getting too hot, let’s add more blankets.” • On collective guilt:“Not just the ones with powerful dollars, but those penniless and afraid. All are to blame.” • On domestic calm amid collapse:“Now, who’s ready for some homemade warming tea?” • On reluctant acceptance:“I admit that I am punishing myself while I choose to live like this.” • On the poem’s underlying ethic:“Never gorge on the absolute.”
