I remember acid rain

[[TNT] Sonic Goo]

The part of the world where I used to live.

The winds were usually west.

But when they were east, they came from the Ruhr.

The industrial heartland of Europe.

 

I remember the taste of the rain.

Tangy. Metallic. Acid.

I wondered whether pine trees had seasons.

Because they were all brown.

 

Thank you regulators.

Thank you sensible people.

For making our brown forests green again.
