The raindrop slides off the pointed leaf
but the heron doesn't care.
The trace of sand washes away
but the starfish doesn't care.
The pebble tumbles over the ledge
but the squirrel doesn't care.
The ember escapes the leaping flame
but the firefly doesn't care.
We are losing time, the breeze is dying, the web, broken--
does anyone care?
