So Why On Earth Are They There (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



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…
