I Grow Tomatoes Poem by Kyle Schlicher

I Grow Tomatoes



i grow tomatoes
while living
in peace
within my own
private space.
no one intrudes-
points a weapon
at me -
crosses
my
property line
in single file
with
radio antennas
dancing
in the air.

i
grow
tomatoes
while dreaming
in the after-
noon sunshine
as
i sleep/
growing older/
along
with
the
tomatoes.
