Speech, screech, talking balking, spitting gritting, creating the world in one word, vehemently staring, soundlessly making noise, in the presence of the king, having the last word, hearing a tree falling in the forest, knowing a forest is full of trees, living in a treehouse, beavers chewing at its trunk destroying its roots, political candidates reducing taxes, voting in a majority, setting traps for the beavers so they do not knock down trees. Seeing the gaps between the beaver's teeth, not wearing dentures, not needing braces.
Someone paid to cause a landslide, mountain snowcaps dripping into ice on paths that cause hikers to fall, wearing snowshoes but still slipping, avoiding the walk in the snow.
Swatting houseflies that bite and leave bruises, smiling at the devil, grinning back with all your teeth, white pearly diamonds glowing and closing eyes in the brightness.
Not to get greedy, a gift not to take, a carrot hanging in front of a horse's mouth and leading him astray, firm footage being without a carrot.
Not hungry, leading to the path back home, the same home as yesterday.
