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
