Fruit Tree

you have an
all american
i just ate
ma's apple
pie face

in civil war 
North and
South but
now we are
continental

so lets go
below the
equator to
find what
makes her

tick and talk
to me muse
ically going
further down
continentally

to a fertile
triangle of
silt and 
growth
both

her
and
me in
and out
and in mak

ing a connection
erecting civilization
beyond demonstration
of what was and of what 
is to become as she is very

becoming

Thank you Maureen. A smile is worth a thousand words. A laugh- even more.
