If the world could remain within a frame
Like a painting on a wall,
Then I think we would see the beauty, then
We would stand staring in awe
At our still lives posed
Like a bowl of oranges,
Like a story told
By the fault lines and the soil.

— Conor Oberst Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground (2002)
