As Sinome said, the first two lines were so great they stood on the their own. But I liked reading your explanation as to why they second two lines differed so vastly from the sentiment you began with.

Hi, Sinome and thnaks for comment. Was having two moments again. One was with Dillon Thomas (Under the Milkwood) and the only two poems I like where he burts his languague through a plant. The other part is, when all this is happening, I feel like I want to sneeze, but can't.
So in a sense it was my tribute to D.T. while having fun with my own circumstace. I happen to like my "snchozzoli" and the idea craked me up. No sarcasm meant. Just, for me, a little juxtaposition.

I loved the first two lines . deep and thought provoking "The root that grows the pod to burst, Just to find another piece of earth" That image is so deep,... I shudder to think about its meaning, Brilliant,... but the last two lines I do not get. I guess its your sarcasm coming through.You have such talent John... Take care of you.
