>When you say ‘heavy,’ David
you don’t mean possessing
great weight, though you do speak
of gravity. The noisy birds
flung from the tree’s branch
I have only one psychological deficit
& provided I solve it, like a soldier
who slavishly cleans his rifle, I will
love my wife, plant & lovingly care
for annual flowers,
save enough money to dig a hole
for a swimming pool.
Maybe you will imply a thickness of character
like how a grasp of well-rooted weeds
will choke out what was intended, yet we
never intend the weeds. David, I will ask
My wife what you meant by ‘hunger.’
