Indeed, there are infinite endings.
Or perhaps, once one begins,
there are only endings.”

“Allowables
I killed a spider
Not a murderous brown recluse
Nor even a black widow
And if the truth were told this
Was only a small spider
Sort of papery spider

And she scared me
And I smashed her
I don't think
I'm allowed
To kill something
Because I am
Frightened.”

“A plant that lives where it should not is simply a pest, but a plant that thrives where it should not live is a weed. We don’t resent the audacity of the weed, as every seed is audacious; we resent its fantastic success. Humans are actively creating a world where only weeds can live and then feigning shock and outrage upon finding so many.”
