Bored stiffs

Do fence boards get bored?
All lined up with no place to go.
Crammed together in a sort of involuntary servitude.
Do they have shadow dreams of what might have been?
Wooden know.

I think they do live, slowly and thoughtfully. If we knew how to communicate with them they’d probably be able to teach us a lot.

Ancient oak groves.
A differing time rate is the only thing that explains some atmospheres/feeling around trees. Some, I think are far more able to be reached by them

You’re probably right. Some people are more open to empathy with things that don’t look and behave like themelves in every particular.

Do bees be? Do bears bare? And now, in the tradition of Moonlighting [with Cybil Sheppard and Bruce Willis] you give us: do boards get bored? Happy Monday and thanks for the laugh.

I wooden know either. I put up Talavera art on my fence to make them feel a part of the decor.
