arranging the flowers, i never stop

i'm at it all the time

i push and jostle and ram

i pluck and pull and yank

i rip and wrench, i prod, i jam

i thrust

i'm not done but i

put it where i cannot fiddle

and it looks so fine

.

drafting the poem, i never stop

i'm at it all the time

i stroke and pet and brush

i kiss and coddle and neck

i baby and spoil, i fondle, i caress

i hug

i'm never done but i

post it anyway so i cannot fiddle

and i love it anyhow
