A cloud never
entertains
the same shape
from point a
to point b.
And if they did
would we even
bother to lie
in the grass
anymore?
There's a reason
many of the best
thinkers in history
took off into nature
often.
She never forgets
what humanity
has long ago
forgotten.
We would not
tape leaves
to a tree
to stop her
leaves from
falling.
Or barricade
the ocean
to stop
her ride
from rising.
Or push
the sky
to prevent
a storm.
But we do it
to ourselves
and each other
every day.
