JULY 4th


in the oldest tradition
I know I am trying
something new --
letting the boundaries blur
inviting everyone in
I’m like my own little country today
I’m having a party
I’m inviting everyone
well, nearly --
I’m like my own little country today
so I’m calling the shots
it’s the oldest tradition I know
I let the back go wild
stopped weeding just to see
what would grow – oh boy
you wouldn’t believe
what I can grow
without trying
it’s the oldest tradition I know
everything sprouted and spread out
grew up over my head
like I was small again
I’m like my own little country today
my plants have a mind of their own
they don’t even need me
to let them in
I’m trying something new
