That’d help me w/ a getaway, correct?
although I’d hardly be lamming it barefoot—
—well—can I get a low-carbon footprint
in Asics or New Balance or Adidas?
& what about a low-carbon fingerprint?
that way, I could help myself to a few staples
(wallets, smart phones, laptops, etc.)
w/o implicating myself via CSI scenarios—
—well—I wonder if I’d need to water
my carbon footprints & fingerprints
to hydrate them, to carbohydrate them—
I work the highway & watch cubicle staffers
drive by in hybrids—if the world’d get
any quieter—well—it just might disappear.

I really like "to hydrate them, to carbohydrate them ..." and your last two lines. The whole poem is very nicely done!
