88 – BUT, OF COURSE

Posted on February 8, 2014 by Ken Greenman

Applaud the wisdom
of two locus trees
who, without hocus pocus, these
decided, twenty years ago,
to plant themselves
precisely for apart.
How prophetically smart
to grow to just that height
so that I might,
adding to perfections natural,
perfections made,
sling my hammock
swing in their shade.
It is then,
legitimate assuming
that I should find,
wonder of wonder,
these two wise locus’
in your back yard.
