in the afternoon . only a green vine is seen . clinging to the pole
to trust in a chain . is to believe that each link . is to be trusted
as the problem grows . distractions are enacted . while the fix is known
a pattern hidden . is often only revealed . in shadows it casts
the flower matters . no matter what form it takes . it creates matter
birds will navigate a tangle of tree branches by looking through them
for something to last . work most be done correctly . there’s no substitute
next to the hard place . is a rock with a big smile . but it’s still a rock
when the lake is calm . the duck is still paddling . never complacent
not sure what comes next . the cat keeps a wary eye . on human actions
