The tree is already inside the nut,
Which has just been eaten by a
Squirrel, who, unsuspecting,
Is about to be consumed by a
Hawk,
Which means that
Trees can fly.
The hawk lives for another
Three years,
And when she dies her body
Lies in a cornfield,
Decomposing into the hummus
Which provides nutrients
For more corn to grow
The following year.
You buy a few ears
At a farmers market
Later that year,
Say Grace alongside the rest of your
Family
In communion,
And eat of the corn.
Which means
That you have consumed
Not only corn on the cob,
But a flying tree,
A hawk,
A squirrel,
The soil which nourished the corn,
And, of course,
The tree inside the nut.
