"To die, to sleep,
To sleep - perchance to dream - ay, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil."

We, like seers of shadows
creep these gnarled fingers
across this mortal coil.
Blinded, we stumble
deeper into the nature of things.
But how much easier it is
to be like the bramble,
ignorant to everything
but its shadows.

We are a people of found things.
