scale

I live on a quarter-acre, 
and I still don't know how big 
an acre is. Sometimes it fills 

the whole wide world, sometimes
the whole wide world fills it. 

And I don't really know how many 
each or either/of would fit 

I sense the football field is larger, but
my mind cannot quite measure it.

Apparently,
this plot
I've got 
is tiny 

One three 
oh five one
eight inches square 

I hope I live 'til
I've found every one 
of them, and watered it 
with pains and care
