Why it's so important to be Born

Being there.
When it counts.
So your parents know
                                    where you came from.

To displace Air
until you displace
                                   Earth.

Gary Nelson | Feb 14, 1989

Tell for me this sunset

cooling air on warm face
       damp smell of nearby grasses

   the soft kkt-kkt-kkt-ktt
     of distant frogs

   cool wind on bare legs

When the heat fades and disappears
   you turn to leave, sunset over,
          nothing left to see -

crippled by your eyes, you miss
    the sunset
                         just begun.
