The Fireman Surveys a Burnt Pine Forest
THE FIREMAN SURVEYS A BURNT PINE FOREST
The Fireman visits the Sunshine State
where evergreens grow leaves
the size of needles
--the sun comes in through the tips.
The Fireman looks around:
many trees are like this:
palmettos, palms, pines.
He realizes:
So this is how you live
so close to the sun.
