Used to be the width of separation
between two random strangers
when, together, they set to work out
who they held in common
for them living in proximity to each other.
Now that same six degrees
is how much hotter the world might be
for there to be nobody left
to have anyone, or anything,
in common with, not even
for the lonely scientist
who is measuring the rates
of animal and human extinction.
