As I stood in the shower and washed my hair
Perusing life and thinking shower thoughts,
How water made from atoms splashes there,
Reused di-hydrogen oxide, eons old;
...
Derek sat against the bar
Rounded back towards the fun,
Head bent down, eyes on his beer.
Jill came up and spoke to him.
...
Angiosperms are hardwood trees, a gymnosperm is a conifer.
Bark's inner layer is periderm; rhytidome is bark's dead layer.
Cambium grows the girth of trees, makes annual rings each year.
Dormancy: when all growth halts because of low temperature.
...
The Goddess
As I stood in the shower and washed my hair
Perusing life and thinking shower thoughts,
How water made from atoms splashes there,
Reused di-hydrogen oxide, eons old;
Once long ago, the Copper Isle was where
Drenched by the selfsame atoms that I see,
In all Her mystic beauty She stood bare;
That ancient stream flowed on to the Great Sea,
Evaporated, mixed, rained down on me.
