Running 12k is going to be difficult

running 12k is going to be difficult

said the yellow pine

forgetting

of course

that pine trees do not have legs

please make sure you

all hold on

very tightly

he said

to his headbirds and armslugs

and he pulled one great knee from the earth

and then a second

and he walked past the houses

of people

who sunk themselves with great wonder

into corners

to watch

through windows

the pine tree walk
