Ideally, you'd see this at an ungodly hour at night, but if you don't then I guess just enjoy the poem!
I've accidentally memorized the first stanza of Albert Goldbarth's "The Sciences Sing a Lullaby" (2007) and I'm afraid my bonsai might be on the road to memorizing it too because I recite it to him as if though he's capable of falling asleep (my dioecious ginseng ficus bonsai is a him, at least for now until he decides to surprise me). The poem is not meant for plants (let alone trees, because we all know Ents speak very slowly and operate in Earth time rather than Human time, of which I think the former is infinitely nicer), but rather for you the reader when you're up at night because of your busy mind, which is moving very very fast with all those plans for the future and memories of the past.
Go to sleep.
