New Poem: Horticulture

 

Mom thinks that

The green corn plant

That she bought at the home store

On a whim,

Has grown so much it needs a bigger pot.

Right now I’m wondering if

Disabled daughters can ever get

A bigger pot, too.

If I had soil,

It would be pretty dry, but sometimes

I can throw out a tiny green shoot

Or two.

I’m not sure they ever bloom.

Or reach their best growth
