Man vs. Tree
Folder:
2003 Poetry Does anybody see the similarities
between a man and a tree.
They don't really start to mature
until their nuts fall.
In the autumn, leaves fall from trees,
as opposed to a man's hair falling out.
They both grow deep roots as they get older,
feeling comfortable in their environment.
With age comes a widening of the trunk,
and I'm getting thicker around the middle.
The only problem I find is that my wood
isn't as hard as it was when I was a sapling.
