How do you smooth odd incidents
with the intensity of an alarm clock,
the balance of a beach,
the speed of light that strikes,
the length in seconds of when a plant dies,
the chnaigng psitoins of water, or air?

Through the years, know that other values will
F
A
L

but separate bodies assume
that they too will be at
an end.

And the following enters conversations:
what if discovery is only found in the bloodstream,
and growth requires a reasoning?

Would giving in billions then be so radical?
It is then reasonable
To smooth odd incidents.
