Consider the brown paper grocery bag
with paper handles
and all that went into its creation
trees, pulp, glue, ink, design
for you to carry other bags from here to there
once
Consider the millions of molecules of carbon
held back
by turning the car off as you load and unload
Consider the joy conjured
by “yes” instead of “no”
by “I care” instead of “Who cares?”
and how little the effort.
Really, you have nothing better to do.

What a world,
blue and green,
filled with living souls.
Flying around a yellow star . . .
What a world,
a giant ball,
big to us, but oh so small.
Spinning a thousand miles an hour . . .
Let’s pretend
the world’s our mom.
Let’s pretend
she’s getting old.
Waiting for us to come around . . .
Her hair like foam,
her hands like trees,
her eyes are filled
with all our stories.
Waiting for us to come around . . .

Thank you for describing how the world can be for us.....not describing...singing. However, alas, the plight of the happenings on this Orb.....god hasn't been of much help......must know what flawed creatures we are (and just who created Us?) hasn't been of much help
Thank you for every word, and all the earth-apples, and for the last lol response from the Mystery.
