rock ponderings |
|
|
|
the rocks will just sit there |
|
and wondering why, |
|
or pondering gravely |
|
on gravity's theory |
|
while eons will pass |
|
won't do any good: |
|
as the rocks, still |
|
will just sit there |
|
|
|
you could conclude |
|
that the act of just
sitting |
|
is the nature of rocks |
|
more so than it is |
|
the nature of ants |
|
meandering past them |
|
(they don't have much time) |
|
or the nature of
lizards, |
|
(having displayed |
|
rock-like behavior |
|
soaking in sun) |
 |
will still scamper off in the
evening |
| leaving behind |
| as they have been used
to |
| for eons of time |
| still sitting in silence, |
| the rocks... |
