Imagine
An orchard
Lush
With plentiful
Peaches, pears
Apples
And plums
An overseer, however,
Only allows you
To partake
Of cherries
Not already
Snatched
By bird or bug
“Look at our variety”
Says the pit boss
“We have sweet
And Tart
Rainier
Black
And Bing”
Amidst words
The Overseer trusts
Our eyes
Pass over
The divergent
Fruit trees at the heart
Of the orchard

Privately seeking public approval,
An introvert who talks endlessly
Teaching learning.
Fat fitness fanatic
Shuffling organized clutter
Trapped in the meandering mind
Conforming to opposition
That creates destruction
Of communal chaos.
