List your objectives,
One two three.
Tick them all, perhaps.
But branches grow from
nodes unseen, wrought in
Secret, deep within the trunk;
Roots find water and,
Without reflection on Luck
Or Risk, drink deep, sending
High and varied growth
To greet wind and find sun

To worry is to predict shoots
On a sapling
No tree can be planned,
No sprout withdrawn,
Only cropped.
In the park
Two times me:
One here with cake I didn’t want
Already consumed,
One there, in the future
Maybe, or now, if I let her,
A better her.
This cafe’s by the the lake-
For longer than a cake
And a cup of lemonade
I’ve sat and thought,
Watching people pass,
Making what they can
Of squirrels in the rain-
Nowhere to go but round the lake,
Past swans and reeds
Again.
