Garden Things
On the third day
Carlos
dug up an orange
carrot
containing all the vitamins
required
to insure literary
immortality
(a Recommended Digger’s Allowance
you might say)
while varieties of filial
tubers
and garish offshoots
profuse
in this postmodern
allotment
like weeds causing traditional
daffodils
to move away and
frown
or cry out in iambic
pentameter
like petunias in an onion
patch
