Debating
Foundations
after L.M.
Montgomery
It comes down to
an intercession. It comes down to exit strategies. It comes down to plain
sight. It comes down to salt-sprayed rocks. It comes down to you, and you are
alone. It comes down to the fiction of neutrality. It comes down to birds of a
feather. It comes down to the raw materials at hand. It comes down to fellow
creatures. It comes down to the economy. It comes down to the wannabes and the
posers. It comes down to a feedback loop or a bottom line. It comes down to
environmental forces. It comes down to trees and mountains. It comes down to
pre-vetted entries. It comes down to floors and dirt. It comes down to property
rights. It comes down to the maple leaves pressed between thick pages. It comes
down to the absurdity and brutality of taxonomy. It comes down to purple on the
lee. It comes down to folded arms, tied hands. It comes down to a question of
taste. It comes down to who wants to win more. It comes down to fluctuating
mortgage rates. It comes down to witness credibility. It comes down to intertidal
zones. It comes down to the nuts and
bolts. It comes down who was here first. It comes down to working environments.
It comes down to taste. It comes down to the music of the sea. It comes down to
areas of refuge. It comes down to peaks and valleys. It comes down to muscle
flexing. It comes down to participation, transparency, and trust. It
comes down to an exact violence. It comes down to clusters of fireweed. It
comes down to development interests. It
comes down to natural resources. It comes down to semantics. It comes down to
the last minute. It comes down to geography, not popularity. It comes down to
whether or not there is a person in the poem. It comes down to the root systems
that hold
the soil in place to prevent soil run-off. It comes down to an
exact violence. It comes down to indifference. It comes down to dim-lit shores.
It comes down to liberal self-congratulation. It comes down to biotic
composition. It comes down to the interests of management. It comes down to a
difference of taste. It comes down to money. It comes down to the co-evolution
of parasites and hosts. It comes down to chance. It comes down to echoes after
twilight. It comes down to landmarks used in navigation. It comes down to the
dark.
