A 
squirrel in the tree is he watching me
 
Does he give  
A 
damn?
 
Does he care who I  
Am 
?
 
I’m just  
A 
man, is that all I  
Am 
Are my manners misinterpreted words or only human?
I’m human
Murderous crow, hey what you know
What you reading about, what you hold in your toes
 
Is that  
A 
twig, are you  
A 
dove of peace
A 
black dove undercover, with another puzzle piece
 
Are you  
A 
riddle to solve all along?
 
Or  
Am 
I over thinking thoughts of human after all
Only human
Made of flesh, made of sand, made of you and me

 
F 
The 
 
 
G

A 
revolution

Up in the major’s tree, the one he planted back when he was just  
A 
boy
Thinking 1923
 
Thirty meters and  
A 
foot, take  
A 
look, take  
A 
climb
 
What you’ll find is the product of  
A 
seed
The seed is sown, all alone
 
It grows above, with  
A 
heart of love
Sharp and shelter of the animals of land and cold weather breathing
We’re all breathing in

 
F 
The 
 
 
G 
planet’s talking about  
A
