Relentless. It is relentless. Not like when we were kids...and it rained for a day...maybe two. No...now it rains for an entire week. It rains for an entire season. It rains and rains and rains.
And I know damned well it is burning elsewhere. It is burning in Canada!!! Canada??? It is heating up in Oregon and Washington state.
I see the reports of hurricanes, tornadoes, cyclones....Auntie Em!!!! I see them, of course. How can you not? How can you not? Except many do....they ignore it...."just the normal rhythm."
No it isn't. That ...THAT is total nonsense.
I do not understand the apathy about this. But, then again, I don't understand why Al Gore wasn't President. Well, yes, I understand it...from a political and selfish point of view....but I don't UNDERSTAND IT from a human point of view. I will never understand how perverted my country became, how perverted the entire species became.
It is May in southern Italy...and I am still in sweatshirts...plural...and two layers of socks. What scares me is that, if this year follows the same pattern as last year, the weather could change on a dime and suddenly turn hot. With no respite. For weeks or perhaps months. Neither option is appealing.
I am a self hating human.
I accept that. I hate it, but I accept it.
