The Problem of Writing Poems in the Shape of Deciduous Tree
[the poem is in the shape of a leafy tree, and letters here and there have fallen down to form the last line "turn to mush ...", the words all mushed together, except the final "d", which is still sailing down through the air]
a common problem when writing poems in the shape of deciduous trees is that once there arrives the first stirrings of the new autumn breeze, the poems will begin to shake themselves gently until their letters loosen like leaves, and they start to float down, then turn to mush upon the ground
