When some portion of the biosphere
is rather unpopular with the human race–
a crocodile, a dandelion, a stony valley, a snowstorm,
an odd-shaped flint–
there are three sorts of human being
who are particularly likely still
to see point in it
and befriend it.
They are poets, scientists and children.
Inside each of us, I suggest,
representatives of all these groups can be found.
