his father's father's father chopped the trees and worked this farm

over time they bought a second and a third

efficiency demands that two houses fall apart

and that the tractor have more horsepower than the herd

six months since decent rain lifted dust on their terrain

resembling now a lunar kind of scene

but they have no explanation or a tree within their sight

they just wonder why the seasons are so mean
