the fallen tree

the tree that fell
in the middle of the night
stretches
across the parking lot,
just missing
cars, and human life.
a crowd has gathered
taking pictures.
children
are climbing aboard
the fallen oak.
birds fly in to investigate.
dogs are barking.
men with chainsaws are
telling people to stand back.
it's all very interesting
somehow and i wonder
how long
before i can back my 
car out.
