Each fractal flake is
A fluke of nature that
Falls unique upon concrete and
Freezes grass and
Flows,
Across roads
As winds pick up speed
And children build men.
My kingdom for two sticks
And a carrot.
A boy and girl
Rub chilly noses
Like the eskimoses
And grow up to exchange roses
It’s a shame I must
Take a credit card
And scrape away the magic
Just to see where I am going
The spidery fronds crawling
Across the innocent windshield,
Everywhere I look
Encased in sparkly white
Doth nature dare to melt this away
Too quickly?

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
