4. WE ARE BRANCHES

Time, times and half a time

Year, two years and half a year

12 months, 24 months and six months

360 days, 720 days and 180 days

A ‘month’ was lunar

There are always 30 days in a month

Using the definition which applies

To the text as written then

Context untaught

When knowledge was bought

Wisdom then

Some trivial pursuit

When cutt off from the root.

The stump remains.

We can remember the taste of the fruit

Under the shade of our favorite apple tree

And if you’re like me

Remember how high you climbed

How far you could see

See some of those trees in your mind

The ones that fell in the road

Or downed a power line

In a good storm

Don’t all things die

At least, all things that live?

What good would it do

to leave a big branch in the road?

Do you need to see the tree to remember

The taste of golden apples?

The roots remain, unseen.

Regard the stump.
