Sample poem:
baltimore, new orleans
drunken men
twinkle under city lights
and tell fellows
trees theyve had
all over the state
trees theyve said
to the point of existence
im a drunken man
telln trees whove had me
the city lights
that hid me a spell
till i found a tree
whod listen
to a drunken night
w/ me a spell
like the babe who
b/ c of excitement
found a frozen moment
w/ trees and love in it
twinkle lights don't have
the smell of a sleeping tree
