with little to no effort
they say it’s time
to roll stones down the hill
and pick up rocks
along the water’s edge
it’s a solitary affair
an out-of-body experience
meant to leave you questioning
what could possibly
come next
you feel the eyes
of the earth & land & sea
watching your every move
including slinging rocks
toward the moon
and rolling stones
up the long lost forgotten hill
november two thousand twenty-one
