The Tree
- I'm so sad, so sad I could die!
- You too! How come? Is it because you're old, and sad at the very thought that you'll die soon?
- Quiet the opposite: I welcome death, I do.
- Are you tired of life then?
- You bet I am! What other reason could there be? It's been a few centuries now, here I am rooted to the same spot of land, condemned to view the same old same old - that hilltop to the left, that flat stretch of land on the right, and that senseless, empty sea straight ahead of me. What have I done wrong to merit such punishment!
- Poor tree - I said - What do you need to be happy?
- To not be a tree! To be, for example, a human, like you. To be able to move, settle some place else, to see and learn new things - If only you knew when dusk falls around me, how I envy you.
During the pensive silence the Tree adds - But didn't you say you were also sad?

| 'Phil The GreeK', 60x90cm, Oil on Canvas |
I'm Phil,
The GreeK
Me, not you,
I'm GreeK
So is He and She
See the Beak?
So what you see,
Is GreeK, that's me
All me, not you
We have super stars
We're Antique
Quite Physique, us
Not you, losing Streak
Excuse my Critique
Bubble and Squeak!
What have you?
Not me, I'm Unique
Says Phil the GreeK

sui fioi del sol
