The Attack by Fire

Traps & poison have
failed to work. Now they
are culling the cormorants
by opening hot-bread
shops all through Middle
America. Climate change
intensifies; Red 5 Comics
has announced a last
minute cover change;
Graceland will no longer
offer discounted parking
passes during Elvis Week
& is demanding double
the price for grown-up
chickens. But some things
do not change. There is
still no distaff side to
any debate. Montages of
notable deaths during the
past seven days still appear
on U.S. Sunday morning
news programs like This
Week. A complex trait
remains one that does not
fit simple Mendelian ratios.
