The Way Things Are The way things are. A person drives in a car. An eagle searches for its prey. Eagles can see far Dolphins swim but breath air. A chameleon changes color, it looks like nothing is there. The wind is a knife when it blows a breeze. The cold makes water freeze. A tired person sleeps in a cot. An unfinished apple will rot. The universe is endless; it stretches out far. This is, the way things are. -Nicholas L
