No drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power. -P.J. O'Rourke

if i were a tree
if i were a tree i would be tall and strong. you could swing from my branches and hide beneath my quivering leaves. you could carve your name into my side, leaving your impression. hide in my den as to seek adventure, isolation, or refuge. you could count the line of ants that marches up to my very top, so very high, poking through the clouds that hang in the sky. pick one of the various fruits i grow, the most vibrantly colored one, and swallow it whole. the nutrients will sink into your bones and your fingertips will glow.
climb to the highest bow and lie about for a nap, your apendages dangling from torso. the only sounds are such sweet melodies of birds and clouds whispering to one another. light as air, you can float back down. if i were a tree, i would stand over you in storm, bow around you in war. you can snap off my branches (it doesn't hurt) and lie beneath me, burning my own limbs. i swell with satisfaction when you use me.
i could be everything you will ever need... if i were a tree.

thanks, erowid.
