Reflection

If you think about it, you’ll know
that cattle will be grazing in green
pastures somewhere. And there is
bound to be a feral cat, scraggly

and flee-infested, prowling the alley
ways for something to eat. Man,
with or without a plan, advances
and digresses with each and every

step he takes. Make no mistake,
roses may bloom sweetly in the
garden as sure as the weed seeks
a stranglehold to survive. The lucky

and well-maintained on average tend
to thrive. And the moon, no matter
how magnificent its shine, never
gives a hoot about which phase it’s

in, tethered dutifully by gravity to
Earth. If you think about yourself
waking today in your personal time
and place, you may decide to behave

differently knowing the mistakes you
made yesterday. It only takes a moment
to consider it all, you know. Oh, my
friends, I could tell you stories.
