Poem of the Week!
Another one from Mario Petrucci- this one should make you ponder for the week!
FENCE
This side of the fence
is clean. That side
dirty. Understand?
You must forget
that soil is like skin.
Or interlocking scales
on a dragon. Dirty
Clean - is all that matters
here. Imagine a sheet
of glass coming down
from the sky. It's easy
no? On this side
you can breathe
freely. Your cow can
eat the grass. You can
have children. That side
you must wear a mask
and change the filter
every four hours.
You ask - What if my cow
leans over the fence?
Personally I say
it depends which end. But
we have no instructions
for that. It is up to you
to make sure your cow
is not so stupid.
