Is It Just Me

Is It Just Me
By: James Dubeau

Is it just me
Or does it just suck
When you wake up
Expecting a day off
When in return
All that you get
Is one phone call
A dirty
Little
Phone call
That asks
No
Demands
That on the day off
The day for relaxing
The day for production
The day for errands
That work beckons

Ecotone

I see the world in shades of green. Everything from what mileage my car gets to how the university can reduce the emissions at the coal electricity plant. I even marched in a picket line for that one. You should have seen it, it was pouring rain nonstop for the entire time I was out there. The wet cardboard in my sign drooped as I was soaked to the bone. I was as sick as a dog the next day, but you know what? It was worth it. I just have to smile to myself whenever I think about it because deep down I know that I had an impact. Because of me the university changed their way of doing things. The world is a better place because of me.

Green is my Ecotone, what’s yours?
