This—spotty spring tree
that I just drew
quickly for you—though brand new
to the world
stands unearthly
tall—
and probably
a little awkward-
ly out
in the foreground;
and despite its fuzzy green
and brown
crown of slapdash
limbs left half-empty—or perhaps!
precisely because of
that pretty
immature mentality—the poor dappled thing probably
thinks
it looks—totally realistic.
