wishing and hoping

i buy
the easiest book i can
find
about gardening
and begin
to read,
trying to figure out
again
what to do with my
small back yard.
what will
it be this year,
vegetables, flowers,
shrubbery
a nice tree?
what tools
do i need?
a shovel, a trowel,
clippers,
rakes?
dirt?
it isn't too long before
i'm drowsy
and close
my eyes,
halfway through
page three.
