Word Count

the grey green granite stone 
gets worn by the rain
from hard solid rock to dust
the colorful silk flowers 
get faded by the sun
from bright blue to pale white

the sun
the rain 
and time
add
subtract and
do their math 
over time

one and one is two
two take away one is one
one take away one 
is none
plus one 
is one
