Poking Around
growing up
with this
plant
yet
never knowing
what with this
plant
i
could have been
doing all along
medicinally
magically
so now i find by
happenstance
a bird that
ate a
berry that flew by
my house and
that at that
very
moment pooped out
a seed and from
that grew
a now eight foot tall
plant that now
i'm starting
to try to
understand and unlike
my once Ponce de
Leon fountain of
youth
i will try to drink
with grail in
hand that
which is
knowledge
