"remote" 8. "impossible" Even ideas that seem unlikely may be worth exploring if their potential impact is significant enough.

The Child who just received a nintendo
switch for her 8th birthday
The man who had to hitch a ride home only
to find his mother's death
The piquant taste of sugar straight from the
cane
The same sugar that leaves 88 thousand slain
A mundane day of tedious tasks
Not knowing that somewhere else is a
person's last
The freedom of a deer with the world to
explore
Its life stripped away by a lion's vigor
We all think we see the big picture
But the pieces are scattered in the sand
Only time will reveal what we understand
