Insects buzz, and all beings
living and ancient, chime in:

 Look: we also were human; we had hands,
 not paws...In the beautiful country; enjoy
 her a season, her beauty, and come down
 ...for you are also human.

In Wills Canyon, the path becomes shady.
One morning I'll share a bench with a man
who, when someone walking past asks
how he's feeling, will say,
From afar, the
surface of Uranus presents no distinguishing
features, other than its sky-blue color, and
from close up, "The hand I broke
long ago
has not
yet
                  healed."
