Right angles, plastic, cement, steel –
human construct,
nature — chaos theory — predictable
unpredictability, wild, round,
fluid, lush —
human deconstruct —
human destruct —
no, never, ever and always Nature —
gliding down the rivers, tramping through the
desert, sliding across the ice fields,
soaking in the joy of brother forest and
sister soil, climbing Father and Mother
mountain —
free, free, thank God Almighty,
free at last.
