Where fat-limbed trees
display their wares
like silent vendors at a fair
there we roamed

we climbed and clambered
cradling bark
with shins and toes
teeth skinned
as we littered
the ground with green
and gold

we kept a sharp lookout-
small brown birds
ready to take flight
should a taller threat appear

but luck prevailed
and we swaggered
pockets bulging
arms laden
mouths sweet
with the taste
of success
