Digging a Beautiful Hole
his imagination left
him speechless
when abandoning the
motorized grass-cutting vehicle he
in all intents dealt
fate a hungry blow
digging a most beautiful
hole
it has no practical
purpose other than to deter the robbers
and neighbor Nosey even
said it would break his own leg someday
but our protagonist
would not be deterred;
he was on an emotional
strike from suburbia, having left the garden untended
life’s mysteries unintended
a story I reflect on
long ago
is digging long and far
enough will get me to another world
an ocean, a pit of
dreams, ageless and dreamless sleep
itching to ground zero
with little, not even defeat
but time and the
paycheque kept him fixed on a mortgage
where did it all go?
making tracks down a
shovelful of no control.
