an aquatic animal climbs out of a meter-deep straight forest ditch
and walks to the nearby blueberry-overgrown property marker
his hands have been atrophied from being idle so long
he cannot get at the berries
the animal walks back but cannot get into the ditch
the ditch has become shallow from below
it's as if the ground level had risen and not the water level fallen
he walks back to the nearby blueberry-overgrown property marker
his hands are still weak unused to labor
they cannot get at the berries
the animal walks back but cannot get into the ditch
the ditch has become shallow from below
he walks back to the nearby blueberry-overgrown property marker
