COME SIT IN A TREE WITH ME

I have cancelled 
all my social media accounts,
my newspaper subscriptions,
even my beloved magazines.

The tree stretches higher than 
any fee-fi-fo-fum
and can only be reached 
if you care too much.

Born in Worcester, Massachusetts, Mark LaMonda is an artist and writer who currently lives in Santa Clarita California. His work has appeared in Tough Poets Review, SoFloPoJo, Autumn Sky, and January House, and is forthcoming in Shadow and Sax, Still Here, and ArLiJo.
