The A1 Verse: Ridiculous the waste sad time
By Thomas Gaulkin | August 9, 2021
Every so often, a story published on the front page of the New York Times is so well written, meaningful, and appropriate to the Bulletin’s concerns that small snippets of it, properly chosen and arranged, produce something more than journalism, something that approaches … poetry. That blessed coincidence occurred August 9, 2021.
We suspect it’ll occur again.
(from the original by Brad Plumer and Henry Fountain)
nations have delayed
scientists have found
dangers grow
people could swelter
species will be gone
not all is lost
a coordinated effort
a rapid shift
no going back
Together, we make the world safer.
