Gnarled Tree
I allow you to feel better
To feel progress
You can't disturb me
I'm mangled
But I'm whole
I'm crippled
I'm a fool
I'm neither boy nor girl
I'm a monster
I'm a book no one wants to check out
Shelved, dusty, never overdue-
A story no one wants to read
Meat and metal
Bone and gristle
Firm monkey mind
I sneeze, blow my life into a flower
And drift away like a balloon
