Sussing the Pot Plant

The green pot plant
standing
all alone, on the cool
bottom
black step of our new
and still
shiny spiral staircase,
appeared
to be moulting along
with the dog ..
My dear good lady wife
always notices
such things and said, 
it was a fine example
of subtropical,
variegated weeping fig ..
Then she asked,
if I thought, it may ever
feel lonely ..
I said, I doubt it, after all,
it’s got the dog
and a view through our
new triple glazed
French windows across
the garden
into the forest beyond ..
She just smiled,
wiped both of her eyes,
and then she
wept back to the dishes ..
