Axes

I no longer have 

     An axe to grind. 

I gave up my axes 

     And my grinding wheel ...

The I that had these things 

Is becoming less 

     And less -

She is seeing 

     Some things 

As baggage 

Some others 

     As burdens 

Trouble and complications

As

Something

To be avoided 

Now she needs 

     To give up 

Sugar and wheat 

     And 

Become neat

Good luck 

     With 

          That !
