A grasshopper who came for a visit to my back porch today

I easily imagined to be a sage from ancient Greece

reincarnated and plopped down by some playful god

to see what I would think of it and what it might make of me.

Not a skittish creature, it seemed to sense I was harmless,

and I had no reason to be afraid, so we looked at each other

for a long time content to be in the same universe together.

It stayed awhile resting on my pink geranium then moved on.
