It seemed a simple matter
to AVAIL oneself of a
BLEND of luck and diligence —
to bend an ELBOW,
put a nose to a grindstone,
and seize an opportunity.
And yet, she found it
required more discernment
than she expected.

Georg’ann

Brain is not QUIET.
Rare the SPARE moment
to dip BELOW the noise
and ponder a fleeting image
of that huge maple tree
with its giant ELBOW resting
on the roof of someone’s porch
as if it were a table.
Massive yet so gently leaning.
