Dangerous Liaison

You may have washed away the top soil

but you will not erode my foundation.

Exposed roots say, "Look at me." "LOOK at me." "LOOK AT ME!"

Do you see a single trace of your swordplay?

(I didn't think so)

My taproot, anchored deep in the Mother's womb,

sings a song of jubilation

as it rises...rises...rises like Spindletop.

You may have washed away the top soil

but you will not erode my foundation.

(Nice try though)
