MUSHROOM

It grows and grows
Billows
Bulges and expands
Involuted
Turning in on itself but also
Growing exponentially.

When one job is finished
Another one appears
Each job brings another
And another
So it is never finished.

The mushroom is a fungus (mycelium)
That spreads through spores through the ground
It grows on compost and in the warm
And dark
It keeps on getting bigger
Until it is picked.

When one is picked 3 more grow.

Mushroom jobs keep growing
As one is completed three more appear
The clean clear space is now soiled and spoilt
Dirt grit dust grime
Rubbish grows and attracts more.
