THE ECCENTRIC
FACE OF THE WORLD
The eccentric face of the world has its miles
and centuries while I have my none and nothing;
yet, my sleeve is a smile and my leggings are
pleasures and joys. This bomber-wing-like
faction, so extreme in its manners and ways,
can take down a town or a city in time.
'I have nothing so much to do as wait.
I am Ozymandias myself; look upon
my works, towers stand to falter and
mountains tend to sand. All things
amount to nothing at all.'

The five grand acres of Carnegie Lake
are now shrouded by fogs of the
morning and ringed by the wet
trees of June. The geese and the
ducks - as well as the four-legged
dwellers of this water and wood -
come gingerly out to the shore
to wager. This morning fog at
dawn, so thick, protects and
grants them cover.

All things amount to nothing at all.
