Mirage III

how the trees spend their fruit
onto concrete
discarded among the dirt
and kicked by feet

all the lovely cones just
lying there like rubbish
never to hit the fertile earth
and flourish

how blind we are going
on our way
as if nothing of this had
anything to do with us

ignoring the prolific, stuck
to screens as if
they could teach us everything
and all the other world
a mirage
