Curves Ahead
Droughts lay bare these sneaky secondary routes. Apps have algorithms which plot the most efficient journey, landscapers lay out pathways through parks, city planners study the variables of logistic networks; but still humanity is all about finding shortcuts. We make the fastest path. Perhaps it only works for the fittest, the most mobile, the folks with sturdy boots and a big stick, they who have no fear of ticks or rattlesnakes. Dried up land shows us all the scars of cut corners.
In this drought a new track has been trodden over to the shade of a limp limbed tree. Right now that path is barely a scratch on the landscape. It will surely grow.
