I was staring into the mirror the other day

———

There’s just so much beauty all around

With the dense tangle of ivy drying in the window

Just look at it

The gears of time turning

Bringing the rhythmic cycles of change

All of nature

Rearranging itself according to gravity

While down here, under the rain

We rework the surface

Into the unmistakable signs of higher intelligence

Glossy cut stones

Infinite folded staircases

Crushed azure packs of Winstons

Lying empty in the rolling hills of litter

Isn’t it simply amazing, the complexity

Of how we organize it all 

Into neat little piles?
