Trimming Focus

And I asked him, “For why, this
trimming of bushes? For
what possible
end?”

And the Bald Man said, “I
am not trimming
bushes so much
as finding
focus.”

We were quiet save for the
the cut and the chirp
and the grass
smelled
of squirrel fear.

I said, “If you find a
focusing thing, then
always do the
ambling
towards it, such
as wit dem critters, innit.”
