I once planted a garden.
I used nickels
dimes and
quarters as my seed.
This was a garden whose fruit
would end my parents fighting over the
HeaTelephonElectric Bills.
A garden whose fruit would
buy me and my sisters
new pink bicycles
with pink streamers
flowing
from the handlebars.
A garden whose fruit would feed
Mayor.
The homeless guy
who lived behind Caldor's.
At night my dreams
would take me to my garden.
I would stand there and
watch the huge trees
with dollar bill leaves
and coin blossoms
sway across the
night sky with the wind.
