Addicted to Hope

The garden of my dreams is likely to stay in dreamland
Seed catalogs
How prettily they lie
Lush vines, bounteous blossoms
The unmolested rose
The blight-less tomato
Rows of lettuce safe from Easter rodent intrusions
A fairyland of perfection
More cunningly curated
More artfully contrived
Than the most insidious infomercial
