Lest

Lest

in the mess

of it all

we forget

the lessons

of the little

what children know

the earth

is not exclusive

to the few

they know

what the birds know

scribbles on paper

mean what

to a squirrel

signs and deeds and dedications

human manifestation

the blue butterfly

has no plan

the crickets

no audience

the fish

no direction

and yet

they move

as one
