The middle class have
Been exiled from their homes by
Those toxic tar sands.
Corporate experts
Descend from helicopters
Above the rupture.
They’re cleaning oil off
The birds whose stench can even
Reach the interstate.
Polluted bees have
Been infecting local plants.
Lake Conway is next.
Who’ll pay? Who’ll pay? That’s
All lawyers ask. But the sweet
Honey has no say.
