North

Our temperate climate has grown balmy,
so maybe it’s time we head across the border
to Canada,
find a place where our children and theirs
and theirs and theirs can survive
for the next millennia or so.

Survival
of the fittest
or the fastest.
What it comes down to
seems to be migration and luck.

Note: The title comes from the novel, North, by Donna Jo Napoli.
