Do You Know?




Do You Know?

Do you know where you live?
Do you know where you walk?
Do you know where you sit?
Do you know where you sleep?
Do you know where you eat?
Do you know where you drink?
Do you know where you love?

Do you know the dirt under your feet?
Do you know the air around your head?
Do you know the trees at your back?
Do you know the sun on your belly?

Do you know your neighbors, the birds?
Do you know your neighbors, the mammals?
Do you know your neighbors, the marsupials?
Do you know your neighbors, the reptiles?
Do you know your neighbors, the amphibians?
Do you know your neighbors, the fish?
Do you know your neighbors, the crustaceans?
Do you know your neighbors, the mollusks?
Do you know your neighbors, the insects?
Do you know your neighbors, the arachnids?
Do you know your neighbors, the trees?
Do you know your neighbors, the shrubs?
Do you know your neighbors, the grasses?
Do you know your neighbors, the flowers?
Do you know your neighbors, the fungi?
Do you know your neighbors, the protista?
Do you know your neighbors, the chromista?
Do you know your neighbors, the bacteria?
Do you know your neighbors, the archaea?
Do you know your neighbors, the cnidaria?
Do you know your neighbors, the viruses?
Do you know your neighbors, the crystals?
Do you know your neighbors, the sedimentarys?
Do you know your neighbors, the metamorphics?
Do you know your neighbors, the gases?

Do you know the rivers? the streams? the creeks?
Do you know the rivulets?
Do you know the lakes? the ponds? the pools?
Do you know the puddles?
Do you know the rain? the mist? the fog?
Do you know the dew?
Do you know the arroyos? the washes? the gulches?
Do you know the gulleys?

Do you know the mountains? the hills? the ridges?
Do you know the slopes?
Do you know the gorges? the ravines? the crevasses?
Do you know the hollows?
Do you know the dales, the dells, the glens?
Do you know the dingles?
Do you know the plains? the meadows? the glades?
Do you know clearings?
Do you know the swales? the marshes? the swamps?
Do you know the bogs?

Do you know the weather? the clouds? the winds?
Do you know the storms?

Do you know the stars? the planets? the moons?
Do you know the meteors?

Or do you know only the number of a building on a street in a settlement?

Do you know the sitting rock by the shady tree?
Down by the creek over the ridge past the glen?
Where you can see the stars at night?
Near where the crows roost?
That is where I will be.
Come and talk to me.
