He did me no favors
when he stripped the landscape smooth,
neglecting to mention the importance of insurance
(which turns out to be a myth).
For a moment, I thought I’d die
in the the face of such worldly concerns
as stuffed mattresses and plastics
but there are few deductibles in heaven
and fewer bonuses in hell;
saving up all your nuts in a tree
distracts from the simplicity of replication
and the necessity of groovy dance.
