Something About Similarities


For the most part, the chimpanzee could
have done what I have done with my life.
Eat, work, play, reproduce, throw fits of
rage, and sleep.

Similarly, the tree does what it was created
to do. And it comes as no surprise that all
creatures great and small need sunshine,
nourishment and fertilization in order to
sustain life.

For what it’s worth, a chimpanzee or a tree
unlike me, can never tell a lie. However,
when emotionally angry, the chimpanzee
and I could rip your ear off, causing you to
holler and cry.

And unless by chance it happens to fall on you,
the tree not so much. Wouldn’t you agree, turning
leaves in autumn are such a beautiful sight?
