When is a Man Ripe for Harvesting?
Sunflowers are easy enough
– the petals turn brown
And the base is yellow, or
better yet
When in the heat of summer
birds and squirrels
Present themselves in your
garden as dinner guests
But humans, now – that’s a
bit trickier
It would be most undignified
to be eaten
And pills and electrocardiograms
Are even more undignified
in their own ways
Autumn would be better, on
a golden day
Yes, autumn, bright autumn
when the geese are
calling
