Everything in nature is designed to die. Ice melts.
Water evaporates. Steam disperses on a lifting wind.
Nature needs neither instruction nor aid to devolve.
Death-defying man crafts artifacts to outlast himself.
Leaves detach from branches without blueprints.
Temples stand by the passing of their architects.
Perennials flower, fade, frost over again.
Steel resists rust as Carnegie decays to clay.
Running sap stops, slows unschooled.
Engines do not disassemble themselves.
