I'd Like to be a Tree

Chatter

I like conversation.
I like chatter and talk.
Even a bit of bustle doesn’t bother me.

I like it when the birds do it.
I listen to news from the larks—
It’s gossip really.

I don’t even mind arguments
When they’re about who gets a nut.
I usually have nuts in my saddlebag.
