Considering Options for Controlling the BP Blowout in the Gulf of Mexico
Because the Gulf Stream shoots a strong current into the subtropical gyre
Which circles around the North Equatorial current
Which like a palm with many lines connects the Caribbean current
Back into the Gulf Stream, the Gulf Stream which shoots past the Subtropical Gyre
Into the Azores Current which branches into the North Atlantic current to the left
And the Canary Current to the right which flows into the North Equatorial Current to the right
And the Equatorial Counter Current to the left, which swirls around in a circle
Until it returns to the Equatorial Counter Current which flows along the North Brazil Current to the
Guyana Current to the Caribbean Current until it reaches the Gulf Stream once again,
The Gulf Stream which passes through the Subtropical Gyre into the North Atlantic Current to the left,
And which is intersected by the Subpolar Gyre, at the top of the Earth.
Because all these currents are connected and encircle Subtropical and Subpolar Gyres on either end of the Earth
Take my ashes and pour them into the Gulf Stream
That they may stream
Into the currents that connect all the oceans of the earth
And the shores of four continents.
Take the ashes of every oil guzzling person
Oilman, poet, shrimper, and foreman,
What else will clean these waters but our bones
Saturated with oil they are
Stronger than any dispersant —
calcium, phosphorus, sodium, collagen —
Tropical storms will carry our oil dependent bones
To sweep the interconnected currents,
Clog the oil wherever it rises,
And return it to where it belongs:
the molten centermost core of the Earth.
