Mowing and Fertilizing-W
It had been a bright and sunny day,
Looking thro’ the window listlessly,
Brooding over what life is after all,
Fumbling, rambling, finding no answer.
Suddenly I heard the noise of a machine,
Saw my neighbour mowing the lawn,
In the twilight of the clear day.
He had come to America for a better life.
Like all immigrants come for and
Living in relationship with a woman.
The noise made me dosed off a while
I heard the noise in the morning again.
The woman was fertilizing the lawn
Found the answer what life is after all.
