Oak Grove (poem)

Silence, Dirt

I smell dirt, I feel the warm sun

But 20 million years ago

The water crashing, I smell the salt water

I taste the saltiness of the ocean on my tongue.

But 17 million years ago

Boiling lava burning up things it can reach

I smell the ash.

But 15,000 years ago

Ice

Still no sound

I can smell the ocean salt

In the 1800’s

Oak trees Soothing sounds

Of birds chirping The smell of

Oak Trees

Fills the air

And my nostrils.

In the 1900 to the 1999

The oak trees grows in the community

The sound of students getting teased

By fellow peers

Fills my ears

But I am feeling

Happy.

Suddenly it’s the 21st century

I am watching

One of my peers

Playing with

A tiny

Finger

Skateboard,

A lot of Nonsense stuff

Being talked about,

But the smell of

Oranges

Fills my nose, but the taste of

Sweat

From students feels my

Taste buds.
