It's amazing what
you can do
with one plant
a slope and some poor soil.
You look out through any-age eyes
and in a mirror
other-age eyes look back
What you finally realize
is that your chronological age,
the stretched rubber band
between birth and
the other thing when it snaps,
is not an odometer.
OK
actually wrong.
It IS an odometer. But
you can decide the
length of each mile.
Some days anyway
