.102.

if it is all about numbers as some suspect
you have success
 
whatever that is
 
why is that thing so important
surely it is made up and differing
for all the peoples
and creatures too
 
why james did they make those rules
before us
and even then ask why do we adhere
mostly
 
we may think we don’t
yet i feel we do mostly
 
sometimes glad to do so instead of
having our own
 
way to go
your cut and paste i understand
have been working that way some
time
 
i like the random nature of these
things
 
and do you remember, did i tell
you about the walnut trees in lampeter
that failed last year and we stood and
wondered if this was an omen
of things to come
 
maybe it was
and maybe just maybe those clouds
yesterday were a thing too
james
 
i cut the grass
once a task for the handyman
then a difficult chore for me
now comes easy
even a pleasure
while texting at intervals
 
while thinking of rhubard and
looking for the sun james
 
as for numbers
one hundred & two
with an ampersand for pattern
yet no one comments on that
 
they talk about the news
current affairs
and i wonder if it is their anger
that keeps them going james
 
while i drink tea and look at birds
