Sunday poem: "The Two Gardens of My Life"

 The Two Gardens of My Life

 I tend two gardens in my life,

an inner garden, which is private

and sacred, and an outer garden,

which is public and safe; but I

often forget that I tend two gardens,

and when I’m talking with people

I have a pedantic tendency to blend

my two gardens into one, which

only confuses people and puts me

in a bit of pickle, adding an alien

flavor to what could have been an

easy, salutary conversation.
