SPRING ENVY
The dead dry leaves caught in
the bushes on the edge of the
lawn envied the young budding
leaves of Spring in the trees.
Officially, they
said to one another,
“Been there, done that, back then.”
But the creep of envy underneath
their comments could be felt by all.
Going to weddings, seeing couples
holding hands, the rich getting richer,
my team didn’t improve, envy
breezes through the air every Spring.
