does a tree care if you cut it down
to make a house
                a hundred books
                a boat
                a crib
                a trebuchet
                a bow and arrow
if you dig it up to build a street
                                          a church
                                          a home
                                          a mall
                                          a wall
                                          a well
                                          a garden
If you burn it to the ground
                                     for fun
                                   for spite
                              by accident
                         to stop the fire
                      to **** the dryad



all it thinks about is Sun
                             and Earth
                             and dirt
                             and rain
                             and bud
                             and root
                             and wood
                             and leaf
                             and acorn
would that there were
more of these thoughts
