"solstice" spell checks to "solution" on my word-processor

N.B. "the whole solution" in I.T. speak means "the whole package" regardless of whether or not it provides a solution


a solution offered before the problem has been stated


the poor management approach


whatever problem you give them they give one of the template solutions


and their replies are not actually replies to what you have asked


but flurries of words


snow or autumn leaves


all year round


words pronounced to demonstrate that the solution they offer to your problem, what they claim is a solution, has a connection to your problem


Half way down stairs


to get myself a drink


pass the 2 flowering plants remaining from my previous home


This was Sunday. sun. day.


Some I've given away, but most have died. Only these 2 survive my transplantation


The smaller, with its smaller pot, is flowering with great energy; but its leaves have begun to shrivel from lack of water. I forget how hot it is, how late into the summer. And the other, with its greater pot volume, must have more water remaining. Its leaves show some distress, but are not too far gone.


It too is in flower, but to a lesser degree.


Is flowering a response to thirst and unease? as birds sing in cages, not out of joy, but in defiance, protest and pleading


As we pass the meaningless calendar points


and come to, and depart from,


joy,


our fluids dry despite refreshment -


the hydrodynamics of the human spirit produce deserts of its selves


turn away
