I pledge allegiance to...
the smallest snail climbing the blade like a highway.
To the outer reaches of the universe, looking back at Earth and what we’ve done.
To the garden snake and the mason bee and the chirping cardinal who all co-exist in my garden.
To the light of the stars and the dark side of the moon.
To the binary that makes my life easier and my mother’s harder.
To the creeks and waterfalls that rise in the rain and fall in the sun.
To the passenger pigeon, the sea cow that Steller paused for in 1741, the woolly and steppe mammoths, and the great auk, and others we didn’t save.
To the blue whale, the tiger, the whooping crane, and the gorilla, in hopes it’s not too late.
To the gray wolf, the southern white rhino, and the souring bald eagle. Welcome back.
To Pluto.

With confidence in my ability
To do as such.
