yard work

yard work bores you.
the sight of a rake makes
you bend over
to catch your breath.
you have no quarrel with weeds.
a lawn mower gives you
a headache.
the shears, the broom,
the seeds and mulch
makes you cringe with
despair. the garden hose
brings you to tears.
how you long
for the unkempt beach.
the sea of sand, so
not needing your helping
hand.
