GOOD NEIGHBORS TRIM THEIR HEDGES
I’m getting furry
again, you see-
it’s always a battle
with me. Contrast
typically not
this clear... so I
prepare to trim the
face, my fear
of getting/spreading
handled,
hand-led,
hand-fed
belief that a tight
fit can make the diff-
erence, deference
to mask our differential
elements- like filters
keeping bad things/
ailments out,
loose(hair)ends no long-
er withstanding;
wall built after all-
compassion forced
it to be.
