the tree
that grew forever
is a ponzi fever dream
wake up, my child
before your ending

i have found
all the ice
lost
from swiss mountains
lying
in the hearts
of swiss bankers

the summer sun
eclipsed by forests
burning
migrating tourists flee
from wisdom to complacency
airline prophets soar
hear them roar

It's Palaeolithic/Neolithic/hunter-gather economics. Exploit the lake, fill the clearing with crap, move on; come back a year later and everything has reset - as if by magic.
Except there are no more unused lakes, no empty clearings. What goes around, comes around.
Finity bites.
Or it's #dinosaurEconomics. Bigger is always better. We (should) know how that ends.
