The Ongoing Poem Saga About the Spring of 2006 Goes on a Little Something Like This

March 20, 2006
This morning I realized

that my little green potted plant
which lives on top of my locker
was wilting

So I took it into the kitchen to water it
and was forcibly struck
by the heavenly smell of soil
emitted as soon as the dirt got wet
I don’t remember it doing that before
but then again I don’t water the plant very often
and maybe I just wasn’t paying attention
Quite likely
