“Massachusetts man buys $395,000 house despite warnings it will ‘fall into ocean’
David Moot nabs ‘dream’ Cape Cod home next to eroding cliff in imminent danger
of crumbling due to climate crisis”
—The Guardian

Your dream may soon become a nightmare if
Your house, however cheap, falls off a cliff—
A cliff which, owing to the climate crisis,
Is dwindling, like the local housing prices.
But whatsoever happens to the planet,
Brave Massachusetts Man stays firm as granite:
He’s moving in! Let’s hope he keeps the joint
For long enough to christen it Moot Point.
