Autumn Equinox 2018

I riff flecked about thee august
Autumn Equinox 2018,
this polymath learned why,
September Equinox

will be at 9:54 PM,
which spoiler alert thy
learned (courtesy Google),
when Or Sun Wells

crosses celestial equator
i.e. (imaginary line in sky
above Earth's Equator
from north to south), a quiet rye

hit moment occurs
Saturday September 22nd, 2018
(at 9:54 PM Eastern
Time) marks onset

of apple cider
and pumpkin pie
a distinct golden jacketed
matted palette well nigh

paints arboreal swath, sans
quiet riot of brilliant
color, that doth belie
rampant terrestrial, unreal,

and venal degradation aye
temporarily turning a (third)
blind eye apathetically, blithely,
and conveniently shunting aside

eyesore fissured gash - wide
cleft wound, where hide
ding away from
global abuse decried

as feeble effort
ignoring doth decide
fate i.e. as does wrecking,
where precious resources espied

snubbing, and thumbing nose
(figuratively) asper dead
serious portentous desperate
(falling on deaf ears) plea chide

dismissively mocking (bird
den some) prophesying,
whence creator cried
alarming, blaring, and clanging

sounding Doomsday Clock,
where ambivalence unheeded
scathing tragic miss guide
did exploitative testament,

where survival of fittest tried
to the max, viz (courtesy
of Homo sapiens)
as Mother Nature dost allied

flora and fauna espied
comprising vibrant biosphere
each betrothed nsync, and guide
ding generic hominids shrugging

(Atlas sized fountain head)
off beholden hide
bound wedded bliss
to the other,

this observer awestruck,
sans whirled, wide webbed biota
adorns terra firmae analogous,
qua expectant wedded bride

named Gaia – resplendent
raiment adorned playfully chide,
when (dark and Stormy Dan
yells) Armageddon

legatee - time ran
out for Homo sapiens meaning...
salvation to late for human
knit tee, cuz field day, sans

grim reaper will
glory in field day
whar cross bones
numb skull pay fealty.
