I’ve watched how they
induce trees to give up
their olives by shaking
branches on to canvas.

Caesarean sections or
premature fœtuses, is
what came to my mind
when first I witnessed.

Imagine it were apples,
nature would have been
denied, and Newton’s
gravity discovery lost.

Bhuddah spent seven
years sitting under a
deciduous until one day
he said ‘’ what the **** ‘’.




Ryan O'Leary
The Proscribed Poet

Ps

Don’t shake heads,
scratch them, is the
moral of this poem.
