Deception Through the Window
Across the street the bumble bee played
in the green cauldron of razor-sharp weeds,
jade pools of thrones, spikes in needles,
but I saw a bumble bee playing in lush grass.
The golden retriever fetched a stick
in the carpet of moss near the jade pools
and more razor-sharp weeds,
while I, blinded by the dazzle
wanted my yard just as perfect
as what I saw through my window.
