To My Friend Who Is Outraged at Little Marsh Man for Disregarding HOA Regulations

little marsh man

pruning & sodding

the marsh commons

planting flower gardens

to better his view

he’s adorning

earth, he’s making

what he believes is beauty

or calls beauty

while you, my friend 

rage — 

             I’m not willing

to say that only nature

can triumph

it's the nature of the view

of the viewer

what he wants

vs what you want

likely his position

in the community

outrivals yours

else your complaints

would hold water

instead 

             like the marsh

things ebb & flow

parch & flood

he’s common 

the little marsh man

soon enough 

he will die

as will you & I

while the marsh

water & wild grass

creatures of water & air

& mud

            will remain
