   When the Sun expands and consumes Earth,   
   all who remain as surface dwellers shall be consumed.   
      
   The end of Earth as it now is does not bother me.   
      
   Sooner than that, when the next ice age's glaciers crush cities   
   that many of the Earthlings live in, if climate change did not   
   slow the pace of the ice, by then it will be too late.   
      
   Climate change does not bother me.   
      
   I do not fear atomic bombs.   
   I lived thru that era, in the 50s.   
      
   There are millions of things that can be fixed each day.   
   I fix what needs fixing when I am able. And if I can't,   
   if it bothers me, then it bothers me.   
      
   I have had cancers removed.   
   And yet, quite often I'm full of joy and not in fear.   
      
   When I am concerned, I am concerned.   
      
   When I am at the center of a center, I remain   
   unconcerned and simply respond.   
      
   I used to ride on a see-saw, as a kid.   
   We had one in the back yard.   
      
   Going up and down is not unusual for me.   
      
   Cycling occurs.   
   Sometimes on two wheels.   
   At times with no hands.   
      
   Normally I walk to get around.   
   Without shoes. As if that makes a difference.
