The Swell of Thinking Too Much

I can’t remember if the swell of the season came already or if

I just made it up, thinking too much and writing too much.

It’s amazing what the mind can program us into doing.

Or do we program the mind? Crossed wires. Sparked thoughts.

Cursing mouths.

We keep to ourselves just to be sure nothing

audible comes out. The trees talk to each other –

redwood, pine, birch, cedar. We can’t even bring

ourselves to wave.
