A tree walks into a library





a tree walks into the library
my people, it says

*

a pile of earth on the table
it buries itself ‘til spring

*

a tree at the circulation desk
I’d like to renew some leaves

*

a tree browsing the shelves
my people, too

*

a tree cuts itself down in despair
you are not alone

tremendous enjoyment was had while reading this splendid selection of micropoems, goodstuff, reminding me both of Fluxus & Steven Wright.

a tree paying late fees,
do you take birdnests?


a tree checking out
a woodworking book,
terror alert


a tree doing genealogical research,
where are my roots?


a tree pretending to be a dog,
barking up the wrong


a tree shushing a loud patron,
can't you see i'm
absorbing nutrients?
