A Dreamy Solid Me
My dream included a solidified me.
I was hard like an oak from stern to stem.
My favorite tall tree had nothing on me.
Immobile, I felt the wind in my hair.
My limbs were lithe, light, and bare.
A lumberjack cut a bit of me down,
Gave my branches a soak,
Tamed me into a table and chair,
I was oak solid, folks.
Bustled into the back of a van,
Delivered to religious fan,
A solidified me, made into something useful.
We pray every Sunday, and on weekdays too.
Part of me in the forest, worshipping with birds.
The other part in a kitchen, with a couple of nerds.
My dream included a solidified me.
I was as solid as I will ever be.
