   Milkmen who delivered used to put it in an ice-box.   
   To say the milk got their all by its own self, is a stretch, aye.   
   Seeing a process in an unusual fashion may require an unusual eye.   
      
   And yet, a time was when, while working with letters, envelopes   
   in the mail with a stamp on them had their own energy and   
   for me to say the letters wanted to get to a destination   
   could be what was said, or at least thought, at times.   
      
   To project intent on to what, normally, is seen as not having   
   that property might be a root of animism, polytheism, monotheism   
   just as to propose the Universe is purposive, can be.   
      
   Why are people. Why is any thing. Assumes a why is.   
   For no reason other than one is, may be a why too.   
      
   Without carving, without chopping, going with a flow,   
   this evening is one for me, naturally, being in a groove.   
      
   Thanks much for the conversation!   
      
   - for the sake of conversation ... Cheers!
