Lime

I watched the lime tree

Wither up and die

And it felt familiar

Somehow

In an i don’t care

Kind of way

Like being dragged

To the ocean’s bottom

By concrete blocks

Tied round your ankles

And enjoying the fish

As the swim by…

Because it doesn’t matter

Just don’t fight it.

The lime tree never bore fruit

So maybe it was time to go.
