So I can replicate the electricity bill in an 
Excel spread-sheet – bully for me; there’s 
due sense of success, the figures agree 
their calculus of cryptic extension – ‘tho 
veiled in disbelief that I’ve accomplished 
anything in reality. So I know how power 
generated in our solar panels accredits, 
the figures do agree, bonus’s do accrue 
But there is no way I am convinced it is 
truly saving the planet from overheating 
or worse, sinking into the morass of our 
blessed overindulgent-beliefs; so I just 
can’t see carbon futures weighing true 
to the tides of excess we’re navigating
