THE POPULAR TREE

There is a popular tree

that lives year round.

Maybe it will live forever

who knows

there is no one

that can touch it.

People come

from all around

to see the popular tree.

It holds a nest

made out of gloves.

I should say that the tree

is not gigantic. It is

about as big as a man

of average size

without a head

or shoulders.

The tree is

so incredible that

when I walk up to it,

my legs shake.

I want to lick

the leaves of the tree.

I want to watch it

get struck by lightening

and turn to neon.

This is not because

I want to destroy the tree.

It’s because sometimes

it is fun to watch things

misbehave.
