Shallow thoughts

Like a pool
With a sign that says,
“No diving”

But my hands
Are what really
Limit me

See, the sign
Did not say,
“No digging”

So I could go
And get
A jackhammer

Break through
The cement bottom
Of the pool

Then a shovel
To dig deeper
Into the dirt

There are no
Shallow thoughts;
Just shallow tools
