acorn on the sidewalk,
use your little legs
and join me in the soil.
you’re stronger than you think —
don’t just decay on the concrete
when you can become a towering tree
more sacred and majestic
than anything you’ve read about
in your books.
acorn on the sidewalk,
render all your pleasures transgressive,
come join me in the soil,
and let us become beautiful together.
you are alive.
start acting like it.
