Apple Tree
Your mind feeds you thoughts
that all pile up into your stomach
and become the apple seed
that sucks away your nourishment
and only gets stronger
as it grows
and grows
and finally grows up your throat
and out your mouth
as apples appear
along its rough branches
becoming twenty feet tall.
Youll be the tallest around
except the thorns are invisible
unlike the ripe red apples on the leafy branches
protruding from between your parched lips.
