from Orchard End, or, The Laboratory of Continuous Effort

An apple tree bent double with fruit
grew in the middle of the living room
shaking gently
as the average family pootled by with plates
or devices in their hands

The room was almost all tree
everyone edged around it
Curiously no one picked a single apple
nor did the ripe fruit ever fall
