In my enthusiasm to overcome
heat and drought
I may have overwatered.
I fear
my backyard tomatoes
will bear no fruit.
The pessimist that I am
would turn this failure
to a metaphor for life,
but all in all
things are going quite well,
as long as I deliberately ignore
the loneliness one experiences
while anticipating a future
devoid of tomatoes.
