the seed in hand

as a child you learn quickly
that
the world is transactional.
that you need a coin
to deliver
the candy positioned behind
the glass.
you see
that to grow a seed you need
to bury it.
that things cost.
that work must be done to 
earn them
unless the dead or dying
give you money
but you learn too that
inheritance is a curse, it
keeps
the seed in hand, never planted.
never seeing what it
could have been.
