Adhesieve

The sticker on those trees: they stuck
One on me, saying, “You must stick with these trees!” as they fell

Apart on me, the trees: their thorns
Got in my eyes. Branches knocked me out. And you’ll never

Believe this, but every year
When their leaves

Fell? They blamed me! They always forgot. It was almost
Cute. Then I was about to virtually

Honour my sticker
Forever—by keeping it hidden—which would have made me

One of those trees too! But then
I took the sticker off: easy.
