Considering Sisyphus, Hercules, and My Basement

By 1 and 12
parenthesized,
spring cleaning feels
human-sized;
it's a big stable
but you're able.

Seen as more 
than just one year:
considerably worse
I fear.
The bitter pill —
a rock and a hill.

An ode, using the term loosely, to a change of season, which from another point of view is no more remarkable than any particular rotation of the left front tire on a light blue 1967 VW Beetle sunroof coupe

My apparently obligatory thing:
(Awestruck words here) Spring.

Needing Spring

Spring brings newness, warmth and needing;
lawns are bare, in need of seeding,
gardens soon will need some weeding,
springtime humans need more needing.

Spring thing

A house with a porch
and a porch with a swing
and a swing with a friend
that's a spring kind of thing.

Road Degrader

In winter the roads get degraded;
they're salted and plowed and frost-heaved,
so by spring it can feel like we've traded
our shiny smooth cars for humvees.
