The Thinking Heart Quotes

“Sun will rise, or not,
And sleet will fall;
Grass sprout
Through the wall
Why should you think
One cog in the wheel can hold
The structures it helps turn,
In command?
Look at our climate now
Yes, we have made this weather
But grass does not pull the sun
Cog does not rule the wheel
Users and dog shit cannot make more land.

“Time heals, you said.
It moves, I amended.

But really time fills in.

- For a new year”
