Intrusions

When you look at me, do you see the damage done?

I was once majestic but now I provide only scenery

I am here for your pleasure

Do you even know my name?

Steady and constant, I am always here

I’ve seen you all come and go, animals, birds, humans

I have never spoken against you or how you use me

But this is ridiculous.

These, theses, these things, what do you call them?

Roads, yes, roads.

And these truck-car things, too.

Really?

Don’t give me that look

I’ve been here for centuries, millennia and you have nothing on me

I was centuries before you lot first discovered these car-truck things

Yes, I am so old and no, I don’t want to look younger.

I will be here for years, decades, centuries

Only Mother Nature or you will determine my fate

I’ll leave you all to it.

What will it be?
