The Rural Electric Co-Op’s Giant Christmas Tree
Christmas
trees are a delight to a child
On the farm, situational
poverty
In muck and filth, old coat
against the cold
Finishing the milking long
hours after dark
But to the east a Christmas
tree, a hope
The electric co-op’s radio
mast
Its guy wires strung with
multi-colored lights
The North Pole must be
something like that
Christmas trees are a delight
to a child
And even more when the child becomes
a man
