Cloud watching in New Zealand
You belong to what?
How sweet
How English.
Like Hedgehog hospitals and Morris Dancing?
And what do you do?
Nothing
But watch clouds.
It costs nothing but time.
And meetings?
There are no meetings
Just cirrus, cumulus
And rainbows.
The benefits?
None really
But soft skies
And quiet beauty
Over this land at the end of the world.
