Unusual ozone hole opens over the Arctic

by European Space Agency

a hole over the arctic was found filled 

with gaseous nanobots of an unknown origin 

holes in the ozone no zone frozen skids 

we banked down from 10,000 feet 

towards the darkened runway 

hoping our electronics housing 

was insulated against the minus 80 C air 

we dared ourselves brave men and women 

those who would scoop the air 

with a flare for the dramatic 

and bring samples 

of this alien gas 

back to the surface labs 

there were naysayers 

doomsayers 

knitting layers 

and sweater brigades 

all protesting this incursion 

as being too dangerous 

or none too soon 

personally i watched the sweater brigadists 

with bobby socks 

and plaid skirts 

i never lost my fantasy 

meeting in the library, after hours 

an older woman dressed as a school girl 

therein eye began to have doubts 

of our uniqueness 

in the universe 

being the only bipedal intelligent beings 

portals 

i began to ruminate 

holes in the ozone 

were portals 

to ferret the loot 

plundered by sentient greed 

snooze radio hear say 

the chinese are in cahoots 

they wear fashionable boots 

that glow on the dark side 

of the moon 

they watch the watchers warehouses 

filled with frozen stiffs, cures and cancers alike 

waylaying distractions 

while sowing wild-ing 

and waiting for the desperation 

of our humanity to spike 

then they hike the price 

and float down the miracles 

saying every disaster 

every mass grave thereafter 

is another reason why 

we need to keep 

the economy alive
