when a system breaks . down, it’s easily discarded . but could be repaired
a necessity . from each point in history . is now novelty
seen from a distance . the details reveal their role . in the big picture
in each autumn leaf . there is a unique beauty . unseen by the rake inspired by the marginalian
memories recalled . long after first forgotten . become new stories
it can be tempting . to declare emergencies . and set off alarms
when passage is blocked . time is not wasted finding . an alternate route
when something is locked . the enduring solution . is to find the key
even simple paths . can require signposts, guidance . to avoid peril
a simple message . is just scribbles on a wall . if not understood
