they call a lot ‘vacant’
when it is not occupied by
something manmade.
no house, no factory, no strip mall.
however, that ‘vacant’ lot is alive
with plants, ants, grasshoppers
and microorganisms,
not to mention
the birds and transient
cat, fox or coyote.
like the ‘vacant’ lot,
when filled with vacancy,
we overlook
our internal abundance.
