Order unperceived
is called a mess.
A mountain range
is then a mess of piled
rock, trees, and snow.
A rain forest is a mess
of flora and fauna.
An artist's home
may be a mess of paint,
canvases, and brushes.
Who sees messes?
The one who judges.
And who judges?
The one who is blind
to order under disorder.
