Accounting 4 the Unaccounted 4: A Rhizo15 Poem

This poem is an attempt to roll together the first two themes of Rhizo15–objective/subjective and deciding whether anything that counts is countable. Accounting 4 the Unaccounted 4 I fixed the rain gauge. It can count again. Yet it does not account      for a single drop of rain. The mass of a raindrop can … Continue reading Accounting 4 the Unaccounted 4: A Rhizo15 Poem
