listening 2...




Pear tree
in parking lot
informs me 
that: "life
is about loving 
the soil you are in"
spoken from:
a three foot
by three foot 
patch
that cars
pull up to
and people
pile carts on
and the birds
who see trees
from the sky
that shelters them
in context of the 
massive earth curving
outward and downward
from beneath their roots 
recognize all life
as the capitulation
to random placement
and the harnessing
of incidental light…
