Just watching raindrops slapping leaves
is better than anything requiring electricity
including fame and posterity. Monday

life in ancient Greece, the land largely
deforested to build a navy,...

Occupying a particular span of time. 
I am a concrete mystic 
And an incurable skeptic 
Seeking an approximation

"Before the party begins,"
said the Permaculturist to her pupils,
Yang on the Left,
Yin twins on Right,

With each word;
Statements Trump made had been prejudicial.

I cant sleep,
it's dark and i can feel your memory biting
my eyes are sore with the persistence of it

Earth had offered Her eco-centric contract
of love and synergy,
awaiting ego's personal response each day,
each moment,
eager to optimize wealthy health care cooperations

although not gifted with any sense of direction,
until we hurriedly arrive,
then she beelines into the ubiquitously requisite lock box
