UNPLEASANT SCALES
Astro-photo-poem (cosmopoem) by Andrei Dorian Gheorgh

2020.
On the night of July 19,
a terrible storm flooded
my neighborhood in Bucharest.
But finally the intervention of
the responsible people
(helped by the Sun’s beneficial energy
on the next morning)
solved the problem.
An unpleasant moment
in my life.

2120.
People read in chronicles:
One hundred years ago,
a terrible pandemic flooded the Earth.
But finally the intervention of
the responsible sons of the Sun
solved the problem.
An unpleasant moment
in the planet’s history.
