Sequoia Copyright © Thraves Thraveson 2010

Get that sequoia off your shoulder babe
Chip are fine in frying pans
or off old blocks
but not on hips or shoulders.

Found in either place
Both twist you out of shape
and make you unattractive
in the forest or the garden

just be yourself, and dump
the baggage kid, stay true to you
you are original, the one and only
no one's reflection or baggage carrier

don't become obscured by extraneous
junk dumped on to you by others
physical or metaphorical
You are the one we want to love
