Nature.

I observe:
reflections, ripple.
brown backs, gray head, orange beaks
neck forward, legs peddling; swimming.
hanging moss, water drops; drip.
tall trees and green pines.
hungry squirrel, feeling uncertain;
stops and stares, 
scurries.
feel the air, breathe in
Nature.
I observe: 
in the distance, white golf cart; closer.
flies away beautiful white crane; frightened.
drops, drip water; fountain.
tall trees, neatly cut limbs.
brown needles cover cigarettes.
reflections on top, under
bottles, glass, ingredient label.
listen. buses, motorcycle, church bells.
they don't budge.
is this their Nature?

  1. I like the clear distinction you made. Superficially people are able to see nature, but when you look beyond all these things human influence is evident. Although this is the case, I guess Audubon is the closest we can get to nature in an urban area.
