One Glance


What is hide?
What is stone?
What is bark?

One glance
will tell you
they're all
the same.

    Hide is where the stone
    Barks -- but stones can’t bark! If struck
    Together, they spark.

    Not to know these things
    Is to be unobservant.
    Flayed bark kills off trees.

    The same happens to
    Cattle, whose hide, skinned, leaves them
    Raw, exposed, ravaged.

    Only some snakes and
    Lizards can slough off their skins
    And survive, transformed.

    On this stone rock, by
    Refining insight, we stand
    A chance to survive.
