Watering the Lawn
There is something very satisfying
in watering the lawn; something
which makes sense and requires
a relaxed kind of supervision.
It is like sitting on a shaded city terrace,
with a beer, seriously studying all the
people that pass by, having nothing
to do but being a quiet observer.
I cannot watch grass grow, but I am
as dedicated to its well-being as
the capital that holds me peacefully
while I enjoy a drink, feeling fine.
