Back Gardens

 

I’m on the train, heading out of town,

passing yards and back gardens

with that unkemptness that would

never be seen on the street side.


And suddenly I think of smiles and

pleasantness; the gracious conversations

we present to people while inside

our opinions are stacked mum.


How, wading  through the back gardens, 

we might admire the front;

how we live in other heads 

having developed in semi-independent ways.
