heron ‘gainst dappled waters: this fleeting dream
______________________________________________________
I wasn’t going to make any observations, but… Yeah, it really was, wasn’t it? the dream I mean. It was brief once we built our cities and attempted to girdle the world with steel. The Sargasso Sea, with the kelp replaced by plastic, which eventually whirlpools down and is taken in by the true bottom sea life, and thus enters the food chain. It does happen elsewhere, but that’s the most graphic. Naturally the mouths of most rivers are filthy. If one in every 25 throws away one piece of trash a day so it lands in a river–just how many pieces is that? do the math. Google will do both for you.

Why do I write?
–so that I can I appreciate the following silence better.
–to become more entwined in definitions.
–to outline the structures and separations I’ve unknowingly accepted, the ones that transform or even govern my every perception. It is thus some of these mysterious definitions are founded. What can be said it seems is quite certainly at least partially a lie. How sad to think that: I hope I’m wrong. I hope that one does equal one, that the cracked egg is the same thing as the whole egg in the carton–because if it doesn’t then the whole edifice of Reality may come toppling down at any moment. But I fear. I fear greatly; for one sign of great danger is when the people see the images made of things rather than the things themselves, and that time has come.
Truth, that is, isn’t something we seek modernly. We run from it.
