How Odd

A pretty flower solitary in an abandoned field of endless weeds -unpicked by a weed lover, who is unfaithful. A long zigzagging crack on a ruined wall containing pockets of moss green moss, glistening, and glossy -harboring a colorblind emerald green lizard unseen by the uninquisitive. A nest way, way up high- consisting of tangled twigs picked from the dirt -touching the sky -empty and forgotten and yet revisited. An unwitting cow covered by an enormous brown spot that wraps around it with edges that barely touch on the other side. A two headed snake that pops up on the internet, hissing. A tiny hard to define bug upon your monitor screen -just out of reach, that might in fact be an eye floater, which bugs you. A cat and dog ying yanging purrfectly, forming an absolutely perfect sphere, that rolls. An inside out fish tank with…yes you trapped in the center, with a limited supply of oxygen. A dead tree bough on a thriving tree. A thriving tree planted in dead soil. Dead soil on a thriving planet. A wind that blows back against a breeze- and a breeze that blows back in turn, and then out of turn. Leaves bearing the brunt of the confusion. Anomalies each… I have seen.
