Been cutting
on that tree
about a life
little change
hard wood
I like cutting
going to keep it up
hands a bit sore
knife's not sharp
people been nodding
shaking their heads
watching me cut
going away
I stay at it
glad they're gone
keeping on
one fellow said
"Man, you crazy."
no smile
me neither
on and on
another said
"You cut that tree,
you be famous."
maybe,
but
I have committed right
and wish to admit my true
for chameleons know sure
one tree when we are old
running about roots in wile
and heat, wise into the way
of phloem and xylem
we seekers of hardwood
with a small knife.
