five 2X4s

                  he felt anxious violated when he saw five upright 2X4s in his backyard   

he went to take a leak and looking out the bathroom window into his yard he saw them at the apricot tree beneath limbs that laboured under its fruit

he rented his placehe paid to borrow  he always paid to borrow

Owning Owing wasnt his thing

he didnt want the responsibilitythe obligation 

                                                and frankly he could never afford the benchmarkthe exorbitant down payment to acquire a thirty-year mortgage talk about entitlement
Thirty Years

it seemed audacious to him that he dare assume hed be alive in thirty years he imagined someone marrying committing for thirty-years  Thirty-years of For better or for worse For richer or for poorer In sickness and in health

one would have to be out of their mindtheir freaking mind that they wouldnt slip  or be slipped  for a myriad of reasons 

ah sweet L O V E

L O V E  

             L O V E is a four-letter word for S E X dig four-lettered wordsyah 

Nevermind he wandered high an wide of his point 

                                                        his rented acquisition  his apricot tree  Their apricot tree

there had been a fence between him and his backyard neighbour but it went down months ago during winter winds

he understood his neighbour was helpful he could have stabbed the 2X4s in the ground rather than his landlords but who needs a helpful neighbour  Really at least not until the Zombie Apocalypse  maybe he didnt know maybe his neighbor took pity on the apricot decided to intervene without him

intervene interventions

he wasnt one to intervene  No 

                                 he didnt seek to benefit whose benefit? an apricot or a human being 

if one hadnt or refused their druthers  who was he to step into their coursetheir life and imposedemand that they accept his perceptions of them   their lives

an apricot is easy 

                    although why would a tree grow an abundance of fruit that would tear a limb off 

it didnt strike him as probable

he imagined it a being in a natural habitat  growing according to its whims  or way

he preferred wild things  feral

he was disinclined to cull or push his way  demand its perception be his

likewise he conferred the same on human beings

if he wanted to live his life on his terms why would he think someone else didnt aspire in kind 

They don’t know any better!

Are they retards

                 Arent they entitled to live their lives without manipulation  without interference

How many junkies died a spike still in their arm or leg after interventions after being coerced

of course he also didnt want to see anyone on the street jackedup heldup strungup on 2X4s artificial means of Xtension  the artificial means of bullying
                                           every time he went to the bathroom to relieve himself he burdened himself
the 2X4s were coming down

if the limb survived the fruit 

                             in the Fall when the tree went dormant hed prune it 

but not until it had survived its stress

he had hoped the Stress wouldnt be too much 

                                                 although 

                                                            after all 

                                                                      an apricot is a plant                        

plants dont exhibit intelligence

                                          like do-gooders who prefer their righteousness over anothers right to self
