Isolation
The Japanese Minister of Loneliness has moved all kindergartens to the ground floor of elderly assisted-living centers. —Sara Kay
Autumn leaves abandon
the tree, collect, a blanket
on the ground
Canada geese know
to flock with each other
Elephants, cattle, sheep,
may stop drinking or eating
when left alone
The Minister realized
elderly people prosper
with chatter
and play nearby
It’s as simple as this—
