PLENARY POEM
An original poem written by EcoAdapt’s Executive Director, Lara Hansen. Read at the 2024 event.
Bus Stop
While our elected officials
Have been driving planet Earth
Drunk on the campaign contributions
And fumes of fossil fuel dollars
Unconcerned about our destination
We ride on this lone conveyance
Having consulted the now faulty route map,
Paid our fair fare, and
Pulled the stop requested cord
To get off at 350th Street
But there is not response
No slowing toward the curb
Instead we speed up
Passing 400th
The windows blurring the apocalypse
Nearby Bernard tells whoever will listen
That the whole system perpetuates this disaster
While cousin Barbara yells
Stop the goddamn bus.
