- Three Trees -
Apple, Pear, Seckel Pear
Planted before my time, grafted by an immigrant botanist.
My father's pleasure, my childhood chores (rake the apples, rake the leaves.)
My childhood pleasure
(climb the trees, throw the fruit: it was never ripe to eat!)
Playing in the shade on a hot day, chased by bees.
Pink and white blossoms in Spring. Black branches weighted with white snow.
The tooth I chipped playing football.
We have movies and photos.
The bark is weak and peeling, the flesh full of ants.
I said goodbye yesterday, high noon, brilliant hot sunny Sunday,
laid in the shade again.
We'll have dogwood and maple, I think.
And more memes to come from their growth,
just like the 12-year old plum and the Japanese maple.
greetings to fellow Daxonians. Its Labor Day here, a holiday, and President
Clinton canceled his campaign trip to Pittsburgh. He said it was exhaustion,
but I think it was the guy they arrested in Atlanta airport, bound for Pgh.
with a bag full of weapons.
Thanks for the water-meme, Lilian. H2O is a powerful resource for
metaphor, isn't it? Its one of my favorites.
Do we have to see advertising for products here?
RE: that book plug. An instant "del" if I ever saw one.
Phriar Phil is working on a new poem....
A tech. note: I set up a distribution list for Phil and I, so our messages
are going out to everyone in the spirit of McLuhan's "all-at-onceness", and
to save some typing. I hope this doesn't upset the framework too much.
cheers,
Matt
