the one, straight line.
Pencil ready we pull the ruler from the
bag beside the desk. Yellow and
nicked, the ruler fits
next to the paper. We press
the pencil next to the ruler
drawing a straight line
One line straight, the other lines
pulling away from
what could be the center what could be
the other edge.
We put the ruler
back in our bag
we will not measure
or draw
again today.

Geometry came to mind as I read those lines.
thanks – it was written (according to the note on the page in my book) while trying to figure out with my dad where a tree would fall when we cut it (we were both wrong)!
The picture reminds me of a forest that is very similar to our forests
Thanks! Yes, trees are similar in both places!
The photo drew me in, reminds me of where I grew up. Lots os trees around.
Thanks, one of many from the vast archive!
Nice E.E. Cummings style there – you’re a poet and I didn’t even know it.
Thanks! that was the style I loved in college and just haven’t ever changed!
