Everyday my houseplant gets a little taller
a little longer
a little bigger.
It's truly amazing
this thing that appears as inanimate
is living and growing by the day
and has an innate purpose
somewhere deep inside itself
to reach it's full potential
before it gives up its seeds
and retreats back to the ground.
There's a baby in my sister's stomach
that's doing exactly the same thing.
We're all unfolding
just as we should
and also
We're all going to bury each other someday.
And so it goes.
