arid shrunk
Next you are a crouching bunny rabbit
with long ears hiding from Farmer Brown
Then I notice your tiny striations
at different angles
like miniature rock layers showing geologic time
Your rough surface irritates my finger
you seem to be porous about to fall apart
I shall be careful with you
But you are shedding fragments
messing up my paper as I write
I brush the crumbs away
I put you down
admire your fragile intricate structure
gasp at the reckless extravagance of nature
