Poetry by Dan Flosi
On the other side of the lake
Scattered around the shoreline
We see dreams and dollar signs
A glint of evening light off the private lake,
And the trailing clouds tracing the sky,
Tell us ownership is a myth.
Under shady green maple leaves
Mosquitoes bite our legs.

The last two lines sew it up: this poem transcends ownership. Thanks for sewing it on the wind of Vita Brevis!
