CUTTING HAY
Did you know that hay doesn’t cut
unless it’s cut? I didn’t know that
till we were picking up bundles and
bundles of hay from a hay field -
and I looked at my bare arms -
all cut up from cut hay. The next
day - even though it was humid
and hot - I wore a long sleep shirt.
There’s a message there in those
fields - but I’m not sure just what
it is - except: leave things alone
and they will remain smooth. Cut
them and they will cut you back.
