slender,just
tall and slender
and poised
waiting
in calm silence
for noise
to pitta patta
on my surface
thundered in
or passing by
with clouds
unnoticed
leaning
quietly leaning
and ready
to be handled
by whosoever
dares
to clutch me
tall and green
though not
with envy
Ha!Ha!
Everybody needs me!
So I’m waiting
for that moment
When
needy hands
will enfold me
that grip back
at that point of
contact
when it’s hooked
to reveal
that true meaning
of my existence
relatively
virtue or value
function or style
the world knows
that neither rain
nor sunshine
can faze
my coverage
