Grasshopper

Have you ever tried

to catch a grasshopper?

It is practically impossible

but those who make

a close study of life

believe that under the surface

is a pillar of motionless time

Now is the time

to add a grasshopper

to your viatica

to abandon endless

exposure, and embrace

unnoticed life

Now pounce

Remember, he weighs

less than an ounce

and under him

is a pillar of

motionless time—
