I am the earth.

And just like that, you changed my whole fucking orbit.

Before you,

I was an ice age.

Seasonal temperature changes caused by too much of your damn sunlight

And I’m wet.

My oceans temperatures rise

And there is more carbon dioxide

I’m choking

And I like it, baby.

I like it until

I realize

You have interrupted the circulation of the Atlantic

My mind melts

Kiss me.

And I wish I knew your name

Kiss me again-

So I could scream it

But it’s uncontrollably warm now

It’s the greenhouse effect now

And you have to go now

I’m scarred now

The temp record is unreliable now

I was the earth

But now I’m just ping ponging

Just seasawing

Killing myself to act like I don’t feel you.

And according to the air samples

I’m high off you.

Your momma calls you Yusef.

I call you, bastard destroyer of all worlds.

Bastard.
