Two palm trees at North Palm Beach

So long ago when Florida

Was simple—undeveloped as men say

You saw them arcing tall and narrow and

You thought they should be on a post card

Or rather, thought they were

so unreal

Those palms looked to one from England.

I could reassure you they were not

Imaginary or some sort of art

Posing as palms

on a public shore.
