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!
