Just Bloom

 What would this world be like

if humans acted like plants?

Plants don't meditate on how to bloom.

They don't "practice" or "work" at it.

They don't take courses on how to improve.

They don't "try to change" their thinking.

They don't lament their fading.

Or fear the approaching mower.

Nor do they reach out for the bee.

Or grieve a neighbor's demise.

Or fall in love.

Or swoon in wonder.
