	Lekh	There's a good question in there... So much industry that goes to bringing all the daily things we rely on and indeed come to rely on and take for granted; we ourselves a cog in the machine.  It's nice when we find ourselves in there on those rare moments.   Posted by Lekh on Friday, September 18, 2009 - 10:30 AM [Reply to this]

	hans kreher Hans Kreher	Each stanza (I imagine) might have a whole story in reserve. In the first might be anyone's mother, we've all seen this picture... The picture where more and more we need to consume chemicals to prolong the quantity of our days and sometimes wonder what happened to quality of living. You paint a very comprehensive picture that suggests without judging. *** Hello, hans   Posted by hans kreher on Friday, September 18, 2009 - 1:01 PM [Reply to this]

	rick j	"on the verge of the too-carefully groomed park, one wild weed resists the weekly blade," we drink from beauty wherever it arises, maybe even more when we find it somewhere unsanctioned? defiantly blooming, that could be a secret society. i can't help but think that we too are wild weeds, resisting, ducking the weekly blade.   Posted by rick j on Saturday, September 19, 2009 - 1:59 AM [Reply to this]

	flame in the snow	I think that you may have a point ... : ) While I was writing this, I was thinking of the pills that I (and many others) depend upon to stay alive, and how interconnected everyone and everything really is ... xo   Posted by flame in the snow on Sunday, September 20, 2009 - 3:42 PM [Reply to this]
