Greener grasses



Pre-fixed upon how
the rooster breaks his silence
atop a fence post.

Always greener


I have been watering the grass,
I have brushed my teeth-wait-yes,

I have flooded the attic-
and the walls may cave
in on me-
but that would be selfishly
about me.
I have sunk to new levels,
as water will often dew.
