I told my Mom
I wanted to learn how to garden.
Looking at the patchy vegetable plot
my Dad built years ago,
the wire walls are curved, bent over
the gate is rotted out and tufts of not-vegetables
sprout here and here.
I simply step
over the walls
into the soft dirt
and pretend I’m a plant.
Grow
faster, grow faster!
