landscaping

verify humanity. pinch skin. business acumen, ironed out. thin walls. no pass code. took the road less traveled, endless battles. to make matters better, took out the trash. chores, lists, ash covered bowl. tar in the lungs. scars on the soul. car wreck in the front yard. barely smart enough to hold meaning, in a painting. dreams fold like origami. fortunately, brought bug spray. grubby skin, dusty viburnum. discovered what showers don’t cleanse. open season, on anything that moves. fear embedded in tissue, of muscles. larger than life, crushed down to rubble.
