* Friday afternoon


I sit by the lake

pondering the greatest mysteries of the universe

things like the miracle of creation

and whether geese like banana chips

I don't have to look far for the answers;

the child throwing pebbles into the water, he knows;

so does wind pushing the sailboat on the horizon,

and the dog that just jumped into the water to chase a seagull.
