Poetic Asides Stress

Growing Roots

Like a tree needs
a certain amount of drought
to dig its roots down deep,
we need an allotment of
company coming over,
floors to be scrubbed,
children to be fed,
articles due,
publisher rejections,
contests lost,
pounds gained,
climbing crumbly cliffs,
bruised knees,
aches and pains,
flat tires,
money woes,
spousal arguments,
getting lost in the city,
because like an over-watered tree
boredom can kill you.
