The Curtain Climbers

Sometimes we find the strangest things about. Like polka-dot turtle shells or diamond studded tree roots. Occasionally grace is given to those who can see a teddy bear tree. Disguised as a round clump of prickly ends that sit high up on leaves until the arms and legs extend. When the teddy bear tree started to grow... Oh, I didn't know what to think. Now most curtain climbers can't see a teddy bear tree. They miss the most unusual things like...the rainbows end, soft wind in their ear, orange spray from a peel, and talking about what is not real. Dreamers see the soft end bear. Plant the seeds and you will see a teddy bear tree and me.
