A lawn full of weeds a mouth full of words,
clean them up leave behind the essential.
Floating through the air flying whirlybirds,
fragile can still gain control of that ball.
It’s okay when they’re broken in to thirds,
at times things need to stay confidential.
Fine image that conveys it’s kept after,
that eloquence was built to protect her.
