Urban Trees They hold themselves apart, each meticulously sufficient, unlike the transients in the park blocks that curl up beneath them. The homeless, for their part, seem non-descript, a sort of soft pavement that drifts rather than ambulates. The poet might see fog, grey, sea-like in the way their mass swells seasonally. But that doesn't tell it. Bad breath I should think. Yes, that does it. One, large case of visible halitosis. RMW |

You've described the decades of the lost so well, Sir... they are our oaks, our walnut trees of wisdom, our ancients of root... and some rot. It is well, and understood... and should be passed along. Submit, submit... and let them cry aloud. |

Oh, I love this! Such a perfect impressionistic painting of art and reality and understanding, swirling into each other! - Owl |

Artic Wind ... Thank you. Sunshine ... Thank you. Your words are always welcome. Bobby ... "Soft pavement." You might be right. Not very clear, is it? Thank you for the comments. Owl ... Smiling, while resisting the obvious ..."Whooooo are you?". Thank you. M ... "Sea / sea." Thank you, M. |

Love to come back to read responses. Heh. Soft pavement, exactly. That's why my M-I-Love always says she "falls softly"...   |

Bob, You paint this bleak picture so well, it's quite poignant. Loved ...a sort of soft pavement that drifts rather than ambulates... Corinne |
