Lesson 41
The Earth is heavy with tall buildings.The trees aren’t shy though they are killed
to make space or supplies for tall buildings.
The trees still stand.
I once walked through
buildings and buildings, looking down
at my phone, unwilling, almost afraid
to look up, and not until the ground
turned from concrete to brown soil did
I slip my phone into pocket, then
turned eyes upward to find myself
surrounded by the brownest trees
with greenest leaves.
The Earth shall shake
tall buildings off it, like dogs with fleas.
The Earth shall be
inherited
once again
by trees.
