Hyperbole

Endless past welling

into sacred present,

welling into endless future, mystery

(hyper-inflation, big bang, double-dark….)

Why call the fluid Source ‘Creator’?

Why hyper-personify?

Let Breath breathe you.

Don’t hyper-ventilate!

Our park shot hundreds

of moose in our wilderness

‘protected’ area

because they said they were

‘hyper-abundant.’

They used helicopters

for the slaughter's spoils

because local guides with horses

asked for a little more money

than they offered.

Let love guide you!

People are hyper-abundant

but common sense isn’t.

People are precious. So are moose.

Be nicer. Take it easy.

Live and let live.

Think it through.

Talk it out ; don’t shout. (Don’t shoot!)

Don’t be hyper!
