Nothing Ventured

Nothing exists as a block
and cannot be parceled up.
So if nothing's ventured
it's not just talk;
it's the big wager.
Don't you wonder
how people think
the banks of space
and time don't matter?
How they'll drain
the big tanks down to
slime and salamanders
and want thanks?

-Kay Ryan, 2000

Good morning from the east coast. I'm once again living at the end (well, not exactly) of a long dirt road, but that looks different here. But I'm settling. More thoughts on life and the whirlwind change later, maybe.
