I placed a jar in Kentucky
and round it was, upon a hill.
It made the hillside feel lucky
that all around it was not still.

The brambles crept, as brambles do,
but noticed little out of place.
The jar was round upon the ground.
Both jar and hill retained their space.

The jar's purpose thus defied the hill
with this purpose thus defined:
that verdant life without a will
cedes dominion to the mind.
