We Know Better

we know better Transfixed a moth to flame. reports over and over wring dry the news hear her snicker echo low. we are not in control. we are feathers in a blender learn; do not snap fingers under mother nature’s nose.

tick the tock ... drown the dock ... cat chased of dog tails ... Oh the woe of it all ...

We never learn though. When will we outgrow our penchant for hubris. Perhaps we need to return to the land. Thank you jJannie!

Love the word play! (now/know) I "now" better than I used to, in fact I'm really good at putting off until tomorrow;-) My sense of urgency has calmed down considerably:-) Menana, eh? V2 - feathers in a blender! WOW, great visual. Happy day! ~ john
