SEASONED
Not being authentically original, moving. I should enjoy my nothing tree
looking at other trees.
I can become as change, or it might just be too laborious. water is no color. it’s period of time. weather getting antsy now. the darkness in sparkles--because color is absent from influenced by other things, then am ponderesa lookslike a sea creature. because it is clear.
with leaves lapping.
