turkeys on the tract
a missing book
the first rain falls hard
and worries find their place
swimming small in water

Plants as Pets
PLANTS as pets: terrariums as cages
Plants are analogous to domestic pets, dogs, cats, ponies, canaries, and goldfish, tolerant to man and dependent upon him; lawn grasses, hedges, flowering shrubs and trees, tractable and benign, man's cohorts, sharing his domestication. This is the walled garden, separated from nature, a symbol of beneficence, island of delight, tranquility, introspection.
