Coal (March)

Take into account the warmth it provided in childhood, the time of blackboards and black-and-white television. Blackened hands were brushed clean. Trouble is it cannot do, anymore. We’re not thinking how it ruins upper layers of sky. We’re told often enough. They are so far away, all we know of sky. We suffer enough because we will not understand. We know it must stay in the ground. People don’t stop to reflect. Reflect: March already and the science has been around for years. All this information in our heads, how much of it just burns off uselessly into the atmosphere?
