A sore sight

Somewhere over the land — Somewhere over the land, probably Australia

A crude watermark,
staining our lives forever—
a nation, suppressed.

To be or not to be

Cloudy sky, Canberra

Cloudy, overcast,
swinging as a pendulum,
mind on windy days.

Inner turbulence

Squirrel on a tree — Squirrel on a tree, a long time ago in Austin, Texas

As deer in headlights,
squirrels scrambling for dear life;
humans in the way.

Consumer

A sign on a clothing store reading "Spend and Save"

Our lifestyle choices,
reflecting reality—
conditions apply.

Game of chance

Bicycle wheels - from an art installation in Austin, Texas — An art installation in Austin, Texas

The wheel of fortune,
revolving around the mind,
as the wheel of life.
