the grass cutters, in layered clothing like hazmat suits, will soon put the plants out of their misery.

Lately, I have been getting out of bed at unearthly hours...






someone could have picked a better time


cell phone rings.
emergency call.

1 a.m.
rain

scratching
the panes.

eyes blink
mouth curses

finger presses
answer button

Birds again. On my way to work this morning, the feathered friends inspired this..

in the early light
one songbird sings to another -

if only they are not in cages.

Today at the supermarket, I saw a lady using her recyclable bags to carry her groceries. Which made me feel a bit guilty for I opted for the convenience route and asked for a plastic bag.

Our Earth would breathe easier if everyone follows the example of that lady..
