Lemon Tree

Outside

There is a lemon tree

Growing incessantly

Never been trimmed, groomed or cared for

Serving as a home

aphids, hornets and mayflies

Leaves yellow, red, brown,

On the ground.

Not the most pleasant of sights

Yet dare to sink your teeth

Into its delectable fruit

And about its shortcomings

You’ll be mute.
