Getting It Done All the weeds had made a cover without a root Tony leaped over the fence and asked for a rake I have found out That a warrior says thanks to a grasshopper and a praying mantis It is hard and seldom heard How leaping is memory And how wonder does not let it change Seeing proud makes me happy and a neighborhood settled Way far beyond an angle. coming over the fence

Tony leaps a fence to ask for a rake; yard work leads to a warrior thanking insects and reflections on memory, wonder, pride, and a settled neighborhood.

The leap links a practical request with the poem's thoughts about memory. Angle remains the typed source reading, not a normalized angel.

'Getting It Done' tells how 'Tony leaped over the fence / and asked for a rake', says 'a warrior says thanks / to a grasshopper and a praying mantis', and ends 'Way far beyond an angle. / coming over the fence'.

A neighborly scene turned into a small philosophy of thanks and memory; angle is kept as typed.
