      Grass is green,
      grass is growing-

      grass needs to be cut-

      over and over, again…

“THIS THOUGHT”

by
J. H. Johns
(Copyright  © J. H. Johns 2017)


This thought is-

the product of observing
the one-time
proud,
handsome,
attractive,
beautiful,
shapely,
fit,
strong,
determined,
enthusiastic,

cross-section
that you see in the supermarket;

now
committed;
relegated;-

imprisoned-

in the embodiment of what

they have unwittingly become.
