would I grow a garden?
Would I plant root vegetables
& ward off pests or neighbors?
I have never worked a day in the dirt,
hate the labor, the waiting,
the constant overfull laundry:
grass stains, blood stains etc.
This is no desert, no
landfill; we have a Whole Foods
3 blocks over, for Christ's sake!
I know my neighbors, trade them
BBQ recipes for gossip. My grass
grows with hardly any work at all,
true, not a real garden
exactly, & no toads left to imagine.
