Trees
Trees
Trees can talk
Obviously, trees are better listeners than talkers
Obviously, trees aren’t the best walkers
Trees can talk though
It’s a very different language though
They speak much slower than a rainbow
They aren’t as quick to boast
In fact, I’ve never heard a tree boast
They aren’t the first to smash a glass for a toast
Are you curious, getting impatient, pondering deeply?
It’s true. Trees don’t fuck around, they only speak deeply.
They don’t tell jokes, lies or speak cheaply.
Trees speak via action; they speak via example.
So you’re thinking, hmmm. Don’t they do nothing? Is the example?
No, unlike rocks, trees don’t say nothing, here; I’ll give you a sample.
I hung out with a tree for three years and they told me thus:
They told me of growth, and green and the generous grubs
They said of waiting and watching and wearing water
They said of sun, satisfaction and slow sap
Did they have a point?
Not specifically.
If I had to translate,
I’d say their point was
life.
