THE LAMPOST ON THE CORNER
was a good-natured kind of lampost
who didn’t mind having all the dogs
in the neighborhood pissing on him.
He noticed a neighbor lady yelling
at dog-walkers who pissed on the tree
in front of her house.
She accused them of killing her tree
which she needed to breathe, she would explain.
The lampost smiled, proud to be contributing
to climate change.
