it’s a monologue not a conversation kudzu
—Beverly Acuff Momoi
Issue 19.1 | 11 June 2019
Like this juxtaposition, Beverly. Anyone who has lived with kudzu knows just how apt this is. A good one.
This poem is excellent–and so apt! Just imagine the other end-words that could live on line 3:
corn soybeans oil palm
We've become the KINGS of monoculture, putting a large dent in diversity in the process. So glad to see this spoken to, if only obliquely.
johnny one-note a diminuendo as rainforests' chorus are reduced to elevator music

nice one ! — found myself grinning, nodding my head
Love this!
