The tree huggers hugged the pine tree.
They said it had the best vibes. One
of them said it helped heal her cancer.
Who am I to say it didn’t help? Another
one said it took away her depression.
I knew her, and she did look happier.
It made me wonder if the pine tree
was more than just a tree. If it had
some kind of awareness and really
was able to help and heal people.
I tried hugging it, hoping it would
bring me true love. So far no luck.
Maybe I’m not enough of a believer
