I don’t need to understand the universe

by Margaret Blanchett

quite simply 

the valley is the valley 

and the river is the river 

they help each other to exist 

as a watershed 

together they give us 

          the humans 

rich soil to grow food 

and a place to live 

          nice of them 

and we in turn 

must respect the watershed 

and not overbuild 

and ruin it all 

one hand washes the other 

you need tool…
