Non / Work

Do not tell me 
what does not work

Tell me what has 
despite all obstacles

Work and Non-Work (draft 2)

Roots spread into the soil like fingers finding their grip.

Abstract latticework finds nutrients to fuel the building

of stems, leaves and flowers. Growth is assured, though

not a given. Neighbors arrive and take root. Miniature

forest canopies spread. Pillbugs, Beetles, and Ants traffic

the dirt. Down pours arrive with casual certainty upon

stems and colored blossoms. A life of simplicity begs

for no complexity, only the chance of continuance

for  perpetuity. A clear oozing trail is blazed early

amidst dew as the snail begins its long commute.

Work and Non-Work

Roots spread into the soil like fingers finding their grip.

Abstract latticework finds nutrients to fuel the building

of stems, leaves and flowers. Growth is assured, though

not a given. Neighbors arrive and begin their process

as well. Miniature forest canopies are erected. Pillbugs,

Beetles, and Ants traffic the dirt below the leaves. Down

pours arrive with casual evening certainty upon the stems

and colored blossoms. A steady life of simplicity begs for

no complexity, merely the chance of continuance in abject

perpetuity. A clear and oozing trail is blazed early each

morning as the snail begins its long commute.
