life happens btwn 2 lines

and so i worry on where it will go 

and who will take it and use it for 

what or when or how - what life 

will it lead - it has led such a quiet 

life. sitting and waiting for the next 

time to mow down the flowers and 

blades of grass woodsworth wrote 

all about*. in part i felt it was mine 

since he was allergic to the very 

blades that inspired him to purchase 

so much - this yellow contraption 

made for acres upon acres - which 

turns at a radius none to zero down 

the branches that randomly fell to 

the ground. i will miss it - and i will 

always wonder what type of life it 

will have. what work horse it will 

become or what hands it will tumble 

down - it has no mind of its own. no 

soul. still the time i sat upon it magnified 

my thoughts, made me pause at my own 

existence as i dispersed life at will
