Showy Early Spring - Eleanor Friedberger

Fuel service, chainsaw sharpening

Four graves next to the sunroom

Let’s nail down the trim today

That’s my life soon I’d say

Assets are showy early spring

Yellow inflorescences bloom

Rapid growth and establishment

I’m urban tolerant too

That’s my life

That’s all of it

Signs flash by

Remind me of why

I live for this

Holy smokes let’s burn up the trash

Cover my ears, cover my eyes

Meet me down by the creek where we breathe

And pretend not to love or to see

That’s our life

That’s all of it

Signs flash by

Remind us of why

We live for this

Watcha gonna do when it’s all over

And you got nothing to show for it

Take a look around and you see that you’ve already found what you came for

Its here for the taking

It’s mine
