The Garden of Extra Meanings

Potent as it is, paying
Attention is expensive.
Constant attention saps thoughts,

And divided attention
Can invest all the expense
But yield nothing of meaning.

Who acts inattentively
Is fooling around with death,
The lover of distraction,

But no can always pay
Attention, much less always
Focus it in the best spots.

That’s what makes meaning weedy,
Blooming unexpectedly.
