the thinning
Before slim
was beautiful,
people liked
their vegies big
so carrots had
to be thinned
to be carrots.
Us offspring
worked unclassed
in rows, pulled
up the seedled
crowds, leaving
individuals.
Forcing the
fittest to survive,
carrot planets,
with personal space
Like the planted acres
we each could roam,
to grow large.
