I am climbing a magnolia tree 
& you are telling me 
that magnolia trees existed 
before bees did 
which means that 
dinosaurs smelled magnolias 
& that maybe that 
was the last scent 
a dinosaur smelled 
before it all went bad 
& dark & bad & 
when I am safely in the tree 
you put your hands together 
in the shape of a bowl 
or a magnolia & that is 
where I would like to sleep 
& so I do & so I do.
