crabapples fall, unpicked and spent
while blossoms bloom and are delicately
handled by droning bees, under orders
to seek out the pretty and the useful

Foul in shame, we are smeared on the ground
hands picking their way to tear up roots
unplanted yet growing, heedless of your
determined step to put everything in it's place

you think that I understand
this gulfing chasm between our minds
not so clase as this sickens me
but confused and
filled wit madness
so far between the points on a child’s star
tht can we pinpoint a single meaning written
with the scratching of the sky
