In a Garden State
I will try to throttle down my enthusiasm,
and slowly pull back on the reins of fate,
summon my tiller, gloves and old trousers,
and dive head first in a garden state.
I should plant some veggies and perhaps
a rose bush or two, and a few hot pepper
plants to reinvigorate my spirit should I
get cabin fever, or if I begin feeling blue.
A good garden, of course, should not be without
wonderful herbs, so I'll sow a few seeds of all
my favorite kinds - preferably in a safe spot
where they won't be disturbed.
Turning 60 ain't too bad and I thank the Lord
as I am reminded that it's never too late, to
wonder how Adam and Eve screwed up royally
when they were in the first ever garden state.
