this moment we’re in where we are sharing this thought has already gone
fried food on a stick eaten in front of animals that are not yet food
we know there is more because others have told us not because we’ve seen
nothing can stand still even the motionless rock must travel through time
arresting beauty that stops you dead in your tracks and won’t let you go
flower to flower the bee attacks and he takes only what he needs
the flower opens a silent invitation and waits patiently
nothing else matters the flower blooms for itself not for our pleasure
the sun finds a gap briefly igniting colors before moving on
we pretend as if the sky is undecided it’s indifferent
