paper bleeds

i read in the news about some idiots
who tried to dig up and rootball
an 180 year old oak tree
and move it to their new home,
i read it on the internet
on a computer screen,
not in a newspaper or in a book
or other fragile
paper based product,
i read it with my eye-brain
still rooted firmly
in this cobblestoned skull,
i combed thru the follicles
of what men do
when they have too much 
and not enough
simultaneously.
