If life is a waterfall
I’m the lowly stream that doesn’t move at all
And if the world is a stage
I should be the lights guy,  at the end of the day

Aerials, in the sky
They beat me down and I don’t ask why
Aerials, so up high
They all walk past and never say hi.

Life is a waterfall
And if that’s so, I’m the two droplets that appall
Some homeless guy walking through the woods
Who’ll die of coronavirus, just cause he could.
I was listening to “Aerials” by System of A Down on repeat, and I decided to write something based on the two central points of the song, “Life is a waterfall” and “Aerials, in the sky.”

nobody out here
but the birds
to see my
rain flattened 'do
the bunnies are getting busy
the squirrels kindly
drop peanuts
for our  greedy hound
but frankly
I don’t think
the chipmunks
give a flip
Our great New England Adventure's downside...totally  separated from any family on holidays.This  was  an Easter filled with chocolates ,  wildlife and mainly  interspersed with   the awakening landscape .
