LITTLE vine, won’t you perk up?
You have fallen behind your brothers and sisters,
You slouch beneath the patio. Have some
Confidence, stand-up straight, fan your leaves and
Steal sunlight—for what does our Little Star shine
If not you? Look at the trees all around,
Do not you aspire to their heights?
Perhaps red-balloons can lift you, fasten’d secur’ly to your base,
Perhaps you will grow around them, as they pull up towards outer-space,
Perhaps one hazy day the neighbors, in the midst of head-cock'd stares,
Will believe floating tomatoes, are now ascending from the stairs.
