  1. Your haiku triggered this –

    I went to an exhibit at the Denver Museum on the Mayans and part of the exhibit was about how their population grew; they overused the soil; eventually drought destroyed crops; and they disappeared leaving their dwellings abandoned. Rains returned; jungle growth grew and completely covered most of the dwellings and many are still being newly discovered. Nature will prevail!

    • Its amazing to learn thats how all those ruins came to be. I didn’t know that. A few days ago I got cause in a massive downpour and I actually saw sprays of water from the small hole in the manhole cover. I never saw that before. It was about 6feet tall. That’s shat inspired the haiku.

      • That’s a little unnerving! I’ve read that urban infrastructures are so old and frayed they all need replacing butthe money isn’t available because, of course, governments aren’t far-sighted enough for long term capital expenditures. These storms and wildfires and tornados will tax those systems even furthe.

        Well that’s a doomsday outlook! Sorry didn’t mean to leave a downer message! On a good note, we have sun a warm temperstures – finally after a very late spring. Yay!
