We all know it, we've all felt it, I don't need to explain blue skies to someone.

If I start trying to explain my attraction to a caterpillar shaped hedge it starts to sound a bit ridiculous. But there’s a joy in falling in love with a hedge. I was obsessed. I am obsessed! I don't want to go back to it. But you know, when you love, and because you love, you wish it continued or changed with you.

… but I know that the hedge can’t move.

I saw a caterpillar shaped hedge. I could connect it to plenty of other caterpillars I’ve seen before. Some are partly real and partly created by all the information I consume. Do I even know all these caterpillars I am thinking about? Maybe if I can make it, it can be my caterpillar. I saw a caterpillar shaped hedge. Someone maintains that hedge every day. Someone who loves the hedge as much as I do.
