Bush

(As read in front of Mrs. Madden's AP English class, May 2005. The idea came from the hit blockbuster novel "The Scarlet Letter" in which there is some sort of important symbolic bush.)

Fleeting,
sighing,
loving...
     BUSH [pronounced almost like "boosh" in a deep seductive lusty voice]

Laughing,
growing,
sinning...
    BUSH

Time glides by,
the velvet sky,
caressing in its tender touch...
    BUSH

P'raps that rose
so long forgot
through life's reveries,
and loving sought,
would wilt, would fade
from this mortal coil...
    BUSH

Or p'raps illusion sleeps in you...

Maybe there is no bush?
