rainy morning haiku

Walking to the bus 
Gardener is gardening
Oh, the smell of dirt


(was walking to the bus this morning and, just that)

"But today I'm entering a second childhood, at least as far as plants are concerned" - The Secret Life of Plants

A life-changing book, really. And a pleasant intermission from the horror of losing all my books when the basement flooded. This one, from 1973 (!) happened to have been in my bag during the move instead of in the boxes and boxes of ruined literature. Brain events, come back to me.

On another note, my friend Alex showed me this video during the hurricane. It transformed into a brain event of ridiculous proportions and hasn't left my mind.
