i started my garden late this year
i might not have known just how late 
if facebook hadn’t reminded me
with its feature of “memories”
that showed how much had grown by this time
in years past (or passed?)
(insert sad face).

i blame the weather
which was unpredictable and stayed cold too long
and then rained forever
(insert angry face)

i stare at the spots where i know i’ve planted
as if i had a superpower …
