Earth
Tranquil ocean
Blue green white
Climbing waves
It is of the Earth
Cloud entwined sky
White blue orange
Laying puffy crisscrossing trails
It is of the Earth
Shell studded sand
White brown pink
Mounds of surf pounded seaweed
It is of the Earth
Swooping pelicans
Orange white brown
Plunking heads into the water
They are from the Earth
Writhing fish
Black silver blue
Painting their shadows across the water top
They are from the Earth
Peeking sun
Pink orange red
Bursting through the clouds
It is Other
And I
Floating on the waves
Finding pictures in the cloud
Scraping along the sand
Observing the pelicans
Watching the fish
And tracking the sun
What am I?
I am not
Of the Earth
Or from it
Yet I am connected enough to it
To not be
Other
I am User
I use the Earth
I am pollution
I am holes in the ozone layer
I am oil spills
I am
Man
