In My Garden The city's impatient hiss Reaches across the land, Descending upon the town In darkness. The persistent sound travels Down the oak-lined streets, Infiltrating my house And my conscious. I wake during the night. "Is someone breaking in?!" I fall asleep, only hearing Ringing silence. The constant hiss persists, Littering my deep dreams. I wake, thinking I'm missing The excitement. I didn't want to die During the morning drive, To a job offering a lifetime Of good things. I hated being around People that tried to surround Themselves with false friends Amidst the hustle. The pleasures the city held Flourished in sights, smells, And the prevailing hiss Of progress. Now, I spend my time Studying cloud-filled skies And planting tomatoes from seed In my garden. |
