two hairy-legged men eating mulberries


Two hairy-legged men
eating mulberries from a tree, 
they offer me a few
they tell me they're juicy.

But all that plagues my mind
are sentiments of doubt: 
what if they're poisonous...
what if they're dirty... 

And as I stand there, being
cynical
afraid
safe
the two hairy-legged men
eat more mulberries from a tree, being
trusting
merry
free.
