Rocking the Boat

(Apologies to the Hues Corporation)

So I'd like to know where
you got the notion

said I'd like to know where
you got the notion

to create
the aptly-named Anthropocene

which is an entirely new
geological epoch

brought about
by human activity

and is estimated
to have started between the years
1945 and 1964?

But ironically
maybe our "cargo full of love and devotion"

is made safest
by more than a few of us

"rocking the boat".
