No Vacancy



















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.
