jealous of his yard

i admire

the way you've trimmed

your hedges,

cut

clean

and squared

the shrubbery.

and that one over there.

pointed

like a tall

hat on a roman

soldier,

and the yard, the lines

that criss cross,

so green,

weedless

and wonderful.

it reminds

of the greens at

Augusta.

please, when you have

a moment,

show me how to do that.
