Basking Robins And Droning Wasps

Late afternoon October 15^th, 2022

a spring like day
witnessed nature in surround sound,
whereby reflection spurred
reminiscence about similar weather
a few years ago when...

 

Serious intent to read
latest issue of TIME magazine
found attention pleasantly distracted,
when I became keenly aware

of flora and fauna bursting,

blooming, buzzing, and twittering
oblivious to yours truly sitting stock still
in folding lawn chair
marveling at each budding
natural born architect and engineer

each respective constituent
living organism engrossed

delicate as deft potters crafting chinaware

observing good and
plenti hive nesting reverential species
trumpeting suave and donning debonair

without any pretentious fanfare

merely obedient to genetic coded wear,

exclusive domain glorified, ordained,
and sanctified by divine imprimatur

contemplating if despair

experienced by coterie of biosphere
not including Homo sapiens,

and/or aghast that their extinction

dooms them to disappear,
which undeserved fate unfair

 

for innocent animals and plants
critically contributing as
unique vital gadgeteer
linkedin to significant role

evolution indiscriminately licensed

 

met with preserved concord, versus mutineer

extant among bipedal hominids
each and every simian forebear

generally recent primate ancestors,
whose short lifespans predated medicare,

 

but more particularly modern man/woman,

who flagrantly extracted precious

minerals, plundered mountains,

usurped possibly, sans sadling muleteer

and/or forced chaingang extruded
raw materials to concoct wear
able, munitions, disposable,
and most importantly

deadly ordnance for bloody warfare,

never quenching thirst for mortal Kombat,
nor scooping up riches galore,
no matter wealthy status equals bajillionaire!
