Flip side<BR>

<P>You've heard about the tree that does not choose
<BR>who smells its flowers or eats its fruit.
<BR>Nobody has said anything about the passersby.
<BR>The ones who pluck green fruit and curse the tree
<BR>for its bitterness.
<BR>Or the ones who mourn overripe fruit puddled
<BR>on the ground swarmed by bees.
<BR>Where is the one who watches, 
<BR>and when the fruit is just right gently gathers it 
<BR>and enjoys it with family and friends?

<BR>I see you again
<BR>watching me.
<BR>I have less fear
<BR>more curiosity
<BR>You move,
<BR>I am gone.
<BR>
<BR>I see you again,
<BR>closer you come.
<BR>STOP!
<BR>Do I run?
<BR>
<BR>I take one step, two steps,
<BR>almost touching.
<BR>Staring,
<BR>green eyes
<BR>blue eyes.
<BR>I'm warning you!
