Sticky And Sweet on Every Street

A Poem by Pete

It is life near the bone where it is sweetest. - Thoreau

Maple syrup dripping over isolated ...
syrup on eggos
drop by drop and brick by brick
world built of legos

Author's Note

Pete
"The sugar maple is remarkable for its clean ankle. The groves of these trees looked like vast forest sheds, their branches stopping short at a uniform height, four or five feet from the ground, like eaves, as if they had been trimmed by art, so that you could look under and through the whole grove with its leafy canopy, as under a tent whose curtain is raised." - Thoreau
