When I think about leaves

I think, yes, of many things.

One of the things that I think about

is how they cling to disease.

Leafblowers blowing leaves,

bringing up all those settled diseases.

Leafblowers blowing disease

on up with pieces of leaves!

There is a reason that people who use leafblowers

get sick more than other people.

They spread disease

up off the ground.

Settled to the ground on the backs of leaves.

Settled to the ground with pieces of dust.

Pieces of skin. Pieces of insect shell.

Pieces of fingernail and rust.

So many things for disease to cling to

lifted up off the ground by leafblowers.

Leafblowers just spread disease

all, all around.

And it's not good for the environment

because it disturbs smaller things.

Leave those leaves in the grass

that's where they belong.

Lots of things, they need those leaves.

Protected by the fallen leaves.

You destroy the ecology

when you disturb the leaves.

So, I do nothing to my yard

except to avoid planting nasty grass.

I let lots of things grow there, yes,

and I do never, ever act.

The ecology will do things

totally fine without me.

I don't need to do anything

about those good leaves.
