Bamboo Fence

            Dear Bamboo,
 
When life's distressed us,
guide grey modds to green and sane.
Return to air your leaves have left us.
Flourish where roots yet remain.
 
Doctor, in our parks and gardens,
air our modern manner wrecks.
Try to hide - what nothing pardons -
fads of pride of architects.
 
Shelter, in the whims of weather,
millions more for billions less -
from the groves that stictch together
mountains progress left a mess.
 
When fulture folk, far less retarded,
with Earth reknit neglected ties -
When your grove's again regarded
world's best womb to breed the wise -
Whe handsome history's repairing
wrrors careless history cost -
When all people's skills in sharing
find each leaf of Eden lost -
 
Kids will kneel in greener nature,
with no buzz of bombs above,
planting planet's quickest creature -
whom to meet soon means to love.
 
Bamboo nights of flutes and whistles
wander warless streets and skies -
streaming kites, not screaming missiles,
lifting children's laughing eyes.

From the Monastery of the True Rice Bag,
Blue Angel Messenger's Bambootcamp of Organized Oddballs,
Bobo, Deadline Time, 7:24:06 a.m., 9/6 or 7 - Nineteen Ninety Now,
under the friendly eaves of Anne and Francis Reeves,
where this book began 1980,
ended, 1984,
and continues dreaming both itself and me,
and everybody else who loves bamboo already
or- if we find enough Bamboo's Angels
to dance on the pin of this now-moment -
will love it soon.
