"A Wood Turned Bowl"

by James Iverson

Whoa!
Check out that big bron bowl!
I heard some dude carved it from a tree!
You heard me,
A god damned tree!
It's big
but not as big as the tree the dude carved it from.
It sure is big though! 
and brown
very brown
and big!
The dude must be some kind of wood working genius.
He's big too!
but not brown
I bet he spends all winter holed up in a basement just carving away
and growing ghostly white
making sure that bowl tells the story of that tree 
and his story too.
