X Poem by Lindsay King

X



a neon green X
is spray painted on the trunk
of a majestic oak tree

each day it sits
and waits
impending doom
of an incoming safeway

a girl drives by
-a vegetarian in a hybrid
complains on the phone
about the dangers of global warming
and fails to notice
the little oak tree

a year has passed
the little oak tree
-gone
a log or a notebook somewhere

the same girl enters the safeway
buys some fluorescent light bulbs
-she's saving the environment
