I go and write a poem.    Hahaha ok I am on board
or walk the dog and watch the trees
ensconced in their xylem, phloem,  delete 'their' for meter perhaps
reciting plant Hesiod in the breeze  big mouthful of a line that doesn't seem worth it
with no tree linguist to know ‘em.     disappointing cliche rhyme, really limits the ambition of the poem as now it feels JUST silly 

They don’t care about our goings on,   true indeed
the anthropofagi of the wheat and corn idk what the cool word is sposta mean
industries. We’re just consumers to them,
numbers on a spreadsheet, going 
up and down as assumptions vary.   this doesn't strike me as particularly insightful or interesting 

Give me a tale instead, of Mary 
speaking to Hashem’s
son back from the desert, hairy
and full of smiles.   over my head but feels like a provocation 

Some good sound, some less good sound. Holds my interest mostly due to the interesting play with music and rhyme. No idea what speaker is on about. Started out with a clear occasion and suggestions of theme, then went off the rails to a destination I don't recognize
