calendars

the calendar
is full of
feel-good holidays

but life
isn't exactly like that
i mean, i feel bad sometimes

what we need
is to start over
with a new calendar

there can be a toxic waste day
ozone depletion day
mourn the white rhinoceros day

we can all get up
check our calendars
find out it's boycott mitsubishi day

and do just that
just think of chevron's reaction
to a boycott chevron day

or GE's to a
no nuke waste dump
in ward valley day

the possibilities are endless
and they can all start
with a calendar

don't drive your car day
walk to work
enjoy the sunshine
