Cultivating coulds takes care:
watchful eyes and nimble fingers
to spot signs of yellowing worry
and hungry-hungry fear-mongers
creeping around leaf-edges and
crawling up healthy stalks; to nip
should-buds, to pinch and pull
encroaching supposed-to-weeds;
to see and treat the threats that
seek to feast on your desires and
deplete your dreams. Protect these
precious crops with patience and
persistence: plotting and plodding
will grow what-ifs into what is.
