Accretion
Once upon a time I planned
To fill a bucket up with sand
Slowly though and only by accretion
Putting in a single grain
And every day doing the same
Until my gradual task reached its completion.
But then someone quite close to me
Died and left me their TV
And an acre of the land they’d owned
I learnt this was accretion too
When unearned stuff is left to you
And suddenly is yours to call your own.
