a new back yard.
i've been saying this for years.
mother nature
has taken
over, it's a jungle out there.
God knows
what's in the brush,
animals,
snakes,
wasp nests.
but i don't have a vision.
i look at the mess
and see nothing
but vines and bramble.
but maybe
with some effort i could
create a tiki lounge
on the patio, install
a small pool
to take a dip in,
put some tiki torches up
and bring
in some dancing girls
from the islands.
a string of party lights
around the fence would be nice.
i could plug in
a blender and mix up
some exotic cocktails
with the little umbrellas
sticking out.
maybe there's a shovel
in the shed
to get me started. i think there's
a shovel in there.
but i'm exhausted just thinking
about it,
so i stop
looking at the yard and turn
back to the book
i was reading.
maybe next year.
