Ties (Poem)

[Ludicrous Lunacy]

A pencil
Broke in two
In the middle of a class

Someone throws a piece
At a window
Made of glass

The noise
Startles a jogger
Who drops bottled water

The water
Spills over some dirt
And some ants

Over time
The dirt houses a beetle
And some plants

The plants become
A herbal tea
Sipped by an employee

The person
Works at a law firm
And is energized by the tea

That single drink
Inspired her
To fight to save some trees

Those trees
Have green leaves
That shelter orange peaches

The peach
Sits out of reach
Of a young schoolteacher

He goes
Across the grass
To prepare for class

And he passed
A window
Made of glass
