How Odd

A pretty flower solitary in an abandoned field of endless weeds
-unpicked by a weed lover, who is unfaithful.
A long zigzagging crack on a ruined wall
containing pockets of moss green moss,
glistening, and glossy
-harboring a colorblind emerald green lizard
unseen by the uninquisitive.
A nest way, way up high- consisting of tangled twigs picked from the dirt
-touching the sky
-empty and forgotten and yet revisited.
An unwitting cow covered by an enormous brown spot
that wraps around it with edges that barely touch on the other side.
A two headed snake that pops up on the internet, hissing.
A tiny hard to define bug upon your monitor screen
-just out of reach, that might in fact be an eye floater, which bugs you.
A cat and dog ying yanging purrfectly, forming an absolutely perfect sphere, that rolls.
An inside out fish tank with…yes you trapped in the center,
with a limited supply of oxygen.
A dead tree bough on a thriving tree.
A thriving tree planted in dead soil.
Dead soil on a thriving planet.
A wind that blows back against a breeze- and a breeze that blows back in turn,
and then out of turn.
Leaves bearing the brunt of the confusion.
Anomalies each… I have seen.
