We are all remarkable in our own way... take, for instance, my neighbor Dave. The short bit of writing below
was done before I got the portrait of him as my photo du jour... I didn't have Dave in mind when I was writing
the short piece, but it fits... It fits him or me or you or anybody else I've ever met. We are all chameleons...
we change...

WHAT GREEN IS

It takes a blue sky
to know what green is really.
That's why the eucalyptus over there
won't be the same tomorrow
when rain clouds turn the sky an ashen gray.
Trees are like people in that regard.
You never know exactly what they are
when the background keeps changing.
