15,573. KINNELON

 KINNELON
I'd broken my arm on the plow,
trimming these god-damned acres.
Everything that grows grows three
times over  -  rain, drought, blight
or flash-flood, no matter.
-
The river chucks it all up.
-
I'd lost my oxen in the big flood.
That was two years back. Now these
stupid mules won't budge.
