Apparently
with no food at
all and little
water from one
year to the next
year this plant not
only survives
but thrives and just
keeps growing bit
by bit larger
when you are not
looking it will
get to three feet
tall and fill the
pot with green leaves
so elegant
and strong that you
wonder how it
not only keeps
on going but
transcends the hand
it seems to have
been dealt in life
