i'm uncomfortable
around nattering
restlessness
deafened
by the frenetic buzz
of earth movers
and universe shakers
and universe shakers
i do not blend well into
the mandatory neon light
the mandatory neon light
and i prefer the robust charm
of root vegetables
over clever concoctions
whipped up
by chemists in chefs clothing
i am a child
of the green gold sod
a product of
a washerwoman's holiday
i understand
the persistence of need
i believe in the dedication of want
of root vegetables
over clever concoctions
whipped up
by chemists in chefs clothing
i am a child
of the green gold sod
a product of
a washerwoman's holiday
i understand
the persistence of need
i believe in the dedication of want
