One
being one
moment one
day in the sun
singular many
single multitude
Solo experience
in a crowd of one
people one

YEAR THREE
Last time, the story
seemed a little
different, yet as we
rounded the corner
of today's path
it seemed to be pretty
darned familiar territory
Possum
just playing
made squirrel noises
in the bush
He had to chuckle to himself
when thinking
of that poor confused
two-legged looking up
in the tree
Clearing the mind
turtle sat in silence
“Aum”
Even while little anties crawled
across her face
she tarried still
in the arms of peace
Bumbling along
the little guy was trying to carry
far too big a load
His little arms
were taxed
almost beyond capacity
Still, with his innocent heart
his face harbored
his shiny smile
