So Why On Earth Are They There (Bussokusekika)
What are striations
Has anyone else seen them
From where I’m standing
They appear as if man made
I don’t think glaciers made them
So why on earth are they there

About this poem
Not everyone is as observant as a very few…Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…Yeah some might ask “What in the hell is he writing about now?” good luck figuring it out…
