Earthly Effusion
Location
See map: Google Maps
What wonders the sky beholds,
What wisdom does the intricate dropets of clouds contain?
Trees of rich brown bark, of emerald green leaves,
They bear the rings of many years past, and climb higher with every passing.
Penguins, parakeets, platypus, pelicans,
Prod and pry on, pillaging our perspective in a sometimes flightless panic.
Earth exists in existential crisis and exigency, exemplified only by endurance.
Expound upon ensuing an earthly effusion, we should.
