6/18/2003

They
gave me
a hip high
hip to hip
wide
wicker basket
light
and strong
to
drag along
behind me
filling it
with
the acorns
like
a squirrel
I was required
to gather.
They
gave me
a wide brimmed
straw hat
to protect myself
from
the sun
but
there was
a great deal
of bending
then
straightening up
to the job
and
I did get
tired
of that.
It was
however
a once
in a lifetime
effort
that left me
feeling satisfied
when
it was over
and I had
everything
I needed
to move on
with
no more regrets
about
past life
gains
and losses.
