POEM: it’s not a cairn

Pile_of_rocks

it’s not a cairn

what’s the name for an intricate series of relationships
whose desired outcomes are difficult to predict?

when is it OK and when is it not OK?

what is the meaning of the rule and to which situations
is it best applied, given the complexity of human life?

to whose attention should I direct these questions?

what did you mean when you said that thing you said?

about whom is this poem being written, and how is that
to be determined without more data?

how many plots can be wedged into one life?

are these small-town situations or are they also possible
in a big city where the people whiz around like protons and electrons?

what do you call a pile of rocks in the woods?
