Scarcity

I don’t mean to alarm you now
Make you tense or paranoid
But there is scarcity
Don’t say the word too loud
Keep it to a whisper
Out of the ether, below the clouds
But watch out for scarcity
Electronics are abundant but they only go so far
Watch out for scarcity
Keep it low, keep it cool, but
Scarcity
Scarcity of love, scarcity of thought,
Scarcity of anything not managed, sold, or bought
Scarcity of water
Scarcity of time
Scarcity of tenderness
All falling fast behind us, and up ahead is
Scarcity
